Feature Request: Read from stdin

[kevintraver]

It would be helpful to have an option for cspell-cli to read from stdin (instead of writing to a file, and then having cspell read that text file)

An example use case would be if you have a list of files/directories you want to check against your dictionary, you could do something like this:

ls | tr '.' ' ' | xargs -n1 echo | sort | uniq | cspell

I think this has existed for awhile #37, unless it got removed

@kevintraver,

It will already read stdin.

The simplest is:

ls -1 | cspell stdin

It is possible to be more sophisticated.

gzcat archive/sample.py.gz | cspell stdin://src/sample.py

This tells cspell to treat stdin as if it was reading ./src/sample.py. It will look for cspell config files starting at ./src.

Awesome! Sorry didn't see this in the documentation
