What's the point of a command line tool if it's so complicated to use
that you need a library o parse it's output? Keep it simple!

Now to answer your question... if you want to get multiple files in
parallel you can use multiple pipes/sockets/files to send your data to.
But quite frankly, if you need that kind of functionality you probably
don't want to use this tool. Let's focus on one file at a time.

Cheers,
Waldo
