STDIN

When no filenames are given skynet-cli(1) reads from stdin:

$ echo 'hello world' | skynet-cli

A filename can be passed to help interpret the content:

$ echo 'hello __world__' | skynet-cli --filename hello.md

Portal

You can opt to use a different portal, other than https://siasky.net, using the -p, --portal option:

skynet-cli -p https://sialoop.net big-buck-bunny.mp4
