  • The pod manual doesn't mention reading from standard input
  • The version on my OpenBSD system prints usage if no arguments are given
  • Standards document describes file argument as being required (no implicit stdin) [1]
  • Standards document explicitly says standard input is not used, i.e. no special argument or option to signify stdin
  • When testing this I discovered invalid option -x did not raise an error, so add error handling
  • Below output is from my linux system: two of the file arguments have patterns to display
