 ### Usage
 
 ``` sh
-brle [-e|-d] [-?] input output
+brle [-e|-d] [-?] [input] [output]

 The input and output can be a path to a file or a `-`.  
 When a `-` is provided as input parameter then `brle` will read its data from the standard input.
 A `-` for the output lets `brle` write to the standard output.
+When `input` or `output` is omitted then the standard input and/or standard output is selected.
