Re: [Swftools-common] Passing swf in stdin/pipe to swfdump

[Romi Kuntsman]

Isn't it possible to read from stdin into a buffer in memory, then determine it's size, and then go over the data in memory?

Afraid that a temporary file is the only way to do this-
in its current implementation, swfdump reads the file twice- once
to determine the file type, and a second time to actually parse,
so it can't process a stdin stream for that very reason.
