%s is a Pipe To Browser client. It allows one to pipe any stdout stream from console to the browser.
Data being piped to the browser then is displayed in a graphical and formatted way by a "viewer".

Usage:

  %s [<name>/<viewer>]

  For example:

	ls -l | p2b google/p2b/jane/console

	or

	cat cat.jpg | google/p2b/jane/image

  where <name> (google/p2b/jane) is the object name where p2b
  service is running in the browser. <viewer> (console, image) specifies what
  viewer should be used to display the data.

  To redirect stderr of a process, in *nix system you can use 2>&1 before piping to P2B.

  For example many daemons may write log lines to stderr instead of stdout:

  serverd -alsologtostderr=true 2>&1 | google/p2b/jane/vlog
