sorry to give you such impression.
Please find here some basic instruction to understand the matter

Feeding the file in from stdin like this does work, however the
documentation makes it seem like I can pass the file name in directly
and it will open it and read its contents. I guess not - it has
misleading documentation.
the documentation is not cygwin specific, linux one is identical.
Feel free to complain upstream and propose alternative documentation.
