   Just a reminder that:
   ```
   cat filename | cmd
   ```
   and:
   ```
   cmd < filename
   ```

   Are different. The second one will give a proper seekable file descriptor, while the former will give you a pipe that cannot be seek'd.

     @encthenet Bonus tip: if [filename] [command] makes more mental sense to you, you can order the second one as:

     < filename cmd
