 $0 can accept piped data, STDIN redirection [<filename.txt], text strings following the command as arguments, or filenames as arguments.  Only one of these methods can be used at a time, so please see the note on precedence.  Also, note that using a pipe or STDIN redirection will treat tabs as spaces, or disregard them entirely (if they appear at the beginning of a line).  So I suggest using a filename as an argument if tabs are important either to the function or readability of the code.
 
 * PRECEDENCE *
-STDIN redirection has precedence, then piped input, then a filename as an argument, and finally text strings as an arguments.
+STDIN redirection has precedence, then piped input, then a filename as an argument.
 
   EXAMPLE:
   echo piped | "$0" arguments.txt < stdin_redirection.txt
