How to show the stats for several todo.txt files

fd todo.txt | ftd

Just use whatever program generates a list of paths to todo.txt files and pipe it into ftd. Alternatively pass the file names as positional parameters:

ftd path/to/todo.txt path/to/another/todo.txt

TODO

• Rename -v to --show-done and --show-stats
• Accept positional params for file lists
