Description

I wonder what ipfs add -w should do when passed stdin input.

Currently it works and ouput a hash, but I wonder what can be done with the hash and where the content passed through stdin went.

For example the following tests work when added at the end of t0040-add-and-cat.sh:

test_expect_success "'ipfs add -w' with stdin input succeeds" '
    echo "Hello Worlds!" | ipfs add -w >actual
'

test_expect_success "ipfs add -w output looks good" '
    HASH="QmSDqa1nBwj2Vstyfqii4SdUbYVVb7cBbkFq78DpsLj5wf" &&
    echo "added $HASH " >expected &&
    test_cmp expected actual
'
