Sumstdin reads line by line from stdin. It tries to interpret each
line as a number and sums all of these numbers. As soon as the end
of the file is reached, it prints the total sum to stdout.

Note: numbers read from stdin can be decimal, octal or hexadecimal
      and must have the following syntax:

      abc   - decimal number
      0xabc - hexadecimal number
      0abc  - octal number

      Examles: 805509488, 0712316, 0xA9C0B
               (decimal)  (octal), (hexadecimal)

      Output always is a decimal number.

Example:

1> list all files lformat "%l" | sumstdin

This scans the whole directory and prints the sum of all filesizes.
