+### CLI command examples
+You can also use the `stdin` and `stdout` pipe commands:
+
+```bash
+$ cat input/source.jpg | pigo > -in - -out - >out.jpg -cf=/path/to/cascade
+```
+
+`in` and `out` default to `-` so you can also use:
+```bash
+$ cat input/source.jpg | pigo >out.jpg -cf=/path/to/cascade
+$ pigo -out out.jpg < input/source.jpg -cf=/path/to/cascade
+```
+Using the `empty` string as value for the `-out` flag will skip the image generation part. This combined with the `-json` flag will encode the detection results into the specified json file. You can also use the pipe `-` value for the `-json` flag to output the detection coordinates to the standard output `stdout` output.

## Real time face detection
In case you wish to test the library real time face detection capabilities using a webcam, the `examples` folder contains a web and a few Python examples. Prior running it you need to have Python2 and OpenCV2 installed.
