This appears to imply that there exists a multitude of other possible sources, but it's not made clear what those are or how to make use of them. Does it support reading input from… files? TCP sockets? IRC messages??

The "i.e." stands for "id est" and can be read as "in other words". Perhaps I should use the English. I mean to say that the source other than a terminal, in this case, is a pipe.
