+/**
+ * This script acts as a post-processor for the transpilation process.
+ * It is intended to be used in a pipe, typically following `transpile.ts`.
+ * 
+ * Workflow:
+ * 1.  Listens to `stdin` for lines matching the pattern "transpiled [file].ts".
+ * 2.  When a match is found, it identifies the corresponding generated ".js" file.
+ * 3.  Checks if the ".js" file exists on the filesystem.
+ * 4.  If it exists, it triggers `prettier` to format the generated JavaScript file 
+ *     using the project's configuration (prettier.config.cjs).
+ * 5.  Logs the original stdin line (prefixed with "stdin: ") and reports successful 
+ *     formatting (prefixed with "frmtd: ") or any errors encountered.
+ * 
+ * Usage example:
+ * node transpile.ts --watch | node transpile_pipe.ts
