Merge "p2b: Rename remaining PipeToBrowser instances to Pipe2Browser"
P2B allows one to pipe anything from shell console to the browser. Data being piped to the browser then is displayed in a graphical and formatted way by a viewer. Viewers are pluggable pieces of code that know how to handle and display a stream of data.
For example one can do:
echo "Hi!" | p2b users/jane@google.com/chrome/p2b/jane/console
or
cat cat.jpg | p2b -binary users/jane@google.com/chrome/p2b/jane/image
where users/jane@google.com/chrome/p2b/jane is the Object name where p2b service is running in the browser. The suffix console or image specifies what viewer should be used to display the data.
Please see the help page inside the P2B application for detailed tutorials.
