<h2>Description</h2>
<p>STDIN can be used to specify a file to treat as standard input.
</p>
<p>Note, most system shells (Unix) provide the ability to redirect
standard input from a file or other process. STDIN is provided where such
functionality is not available or easy to achieve.
</p>
<!-- *************************************************************** -->
<hr>
<h2>Default Setting</h2>
<p>The default location of standard input, which is usually the
terminal.
</p>
<!-- *************************************************************** -->
<hr>
<h2>Resource Variables</h2>
<p>N/A
</p>
<!-- *************************************************************** -->

<h2>Examples</h2>
<p>One way to perform an <a href="add.html">ADD</a> operation for
a single message is something like the following:
</p>
<pre>
shell> <b>mhonarc -add -outdir /path/to/archive -stdin mesg.822</b>
</pre>
<p>However, any decent shell would allow:
</p>
<pre>
shell> <b>mhonarc -add -outdir /path/to/archive < mesg.822</b>
</pre>

<h2>Version</h2>
