+** TODO Account for "early-exit" bug in input script
+*** 2020-07-14T03:00Z; bktei>
+What happens if the script piping its stdout into ~bklog~ immediately
+exits without providing any stdout (ex: a python script with a missing
+module)? ~bklog~ should be able to detect the latest exit code and
+exit early. It should also be able to detect if the incoming pipe is
+closed.

+Possible solution using ~dd~, ~od~, and ~if [ -z string ]~ [[https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/33055][here]].
+** TODO Support configuration file for storing options
+*** 2020-07-15T23:48Z;bktei>
+Support storing options in a ~$HOME/.config/bklog/options.conf~ file
+so individual calls to ~bklog~ don't have to be so long. Aliases can
+be used instead to make ~bklog~ calls shorter, but cron jobs don't
+necessarily source alias files. Explicitly reading options from a
+configuration file would be more reliable, although it complicates
+usage of ~bklog~.
+*** 2020-07-20T01:45Z; bktei>
+It should be possible to specify options via a configuration file
+stored within a ~~/.config/~ directory instead of specifying options
+each time ~bklog~ is called. This feature would simplify use of
+~bklog~ in situations where specifying options is tiresome and only
+quick / one-off use of ~bklog~ is needed.
