+		<p>
+			The number of <abbr title="Command-line interface">CLI</abbr> arguments is limited and they are passed at once to the process.
+			So there is option to pass the values from STDIN instead of CLI arguments.
+			Values on STDIN are expected to be separated by the null-byte.
+			We can generate such data e.g. using <code>echo</code> and <code>tr</code> (or using <code>printf</code> or other commands):
+		</p>
+		
+		<m:pre jazyk="bash"><![CDATA[echo -e "1\nHello\ntrue\n2\nWorld\nfalse" \
+	| tr \\n \\0 \
+	| relpipe-in-cli generate-from-stdin relation_from_stdin 3 \
+		a integer \
+		b string \
+		c boolean \
+	| relpipe-out-tabular]]></m:pre>
+
+		<p>
+			The output is same as above.
+			We can use this approach to convert various formats to relational data.
+			There are lot of data already in the form of null-separated values e.g. the process arguments:
+		</p>
+		
+		<m:pre jazyk="bash"><![CDATA[cat /proc/$(pidof mc)/cmdline \
+	| relpipe-in-cli generate-from-stdin mc_args 1 a string \
+	| relpipe-out-tabular
+]]></m:pre>
+	
+		<p>If we have <code>mc /etc/ /tmp/</code> running in some other terminal, the output will be:</p>
+		
+		<pre><![CDATA[mc_args:
+ ╭────────────╮
+ │ a (string) │
+ ├────────────┤
+ │ mc         │
+ │ /etc/      │
+ │ /tmp/      │
+ ╰────────────╯
+Record count: 3]]></pre>
+
+		<p>
+			Also the <code>find</code> command can produce data separated by the null-byte:
+		</p>
+		
+		<m:pre jazyk="bash"><![CDATA[find /etc/ -name '*ssh*_*' -print0 \
+	| relpipe-in-cli generate-from-stdin files 1 file_name string \
+	| relpipe-out-tabular]]></m:pre>
+	
+		<p>Will display something like this:</p>
+		
+		<pre><![CDATA[files:
+ ╭───────────────────────────────────╮
+ │ file_name                (string) │
+ ├───────────────────────────────────┤
