NAME
       flin - A simple templating tool

SYNOPSIS
       flin [file...] <template

DESCRIPTION
       An  extremely  simple  templating  tool, designed for easy use from the
       shell.  It reads a template from stdin; it writes it back out  to  std‐
       out.

       • Purely  numeric  placeholders like “{n}” are replaced by the contents
         of the file given by the nth argument (0-indexed).  A  trailing  new‐
         line is removed.

       • Alphanumberic  placeholders  like “{VAR}” are replaced with the value
         of the environment variable VAR.

       And that's it.

EXAMPLES
       Environment variables are interpolated:

              $ echo 'Hello, {WORLD}!' | WORLD=earth flin
              Hello, earth!

       Files are copied in:

              $ echo '<html>{0}</html>' | flin inner.html
              <html><body>Great website!</body></html>

       You can use command substitution:

              $ echo '<html>{0}</html>' | flin <(echo '# yeah buddy!' | cmark)
              <html><h1>yeah buddy!</h1></html>

       The templates are logicless, so you need to do any  complex  formatting
       before the data reaches flin:

              $ echo 'In {0} liftoff!' | flin <(seq 3 -1 1 | xargs printf '%s...')
              In 3...2...1... liftoff!
