I believe that ledger can not read transaction data from standard
input. For example, commands like these do not work:

ledger < datafile
ledger -f - < datafile

Would it make sense for this feature to be added to ledger? I am not yet
a ledger user, but I am working on Emacs Org-mode support for ledger. In
this context, submitting the data on standard input would be convenient
(but by no means essential).

Discussion of this in the Org-mode context can be found here
