Usage: $PROGNAME [programfile]
Prints Cow source code that, when executed, prints a given text.

  -h     print usage and exit
  -v     print version information and exit

If file is omitted, text is read through the standard input.

Example: \$ printf 'Hello, World!\\n' | $PROGNAME > hello.cow
         \$ cow hello.cow
         Hello, World!
