Read from stdin in non-batch mode

[Thorsten Jolitz]

Hi List,

how can I (directly) achieve this behaviour in non-batch mode?

,-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| t used as a stream means that the input is read from the minibuffer.
| [...]. If Emacs is running in batch mode, standard input is used
| instead of the minibuffer. For example,
|
|           (message "%s" (read t))
|
| will read a Lisp expression from standard input and print the result to
| standard output.
`-------------------------------------------------------------------------

>From the manual it seems that I have to either pipe in/output through a
buffer or write a function - there is no input-stream 'stdin' and no
output-stream 'stdout' mentioned that would allow for the bahaviour
described above.
