Description

e.g., this usage

echo "magnet://..." | peerflix -l

Motivation: I wrote lukedmor/magnet which retrieves a magnet link. Rather than simply piping the link into peerflix, I have to manually set all peerflix arguments from within my script.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement reading from stdin using Node.js process.stdin. Listen for 'data' events and parse the magnet link from the input.
