What exactly does that mean?

Would it be "cheating" to read all of stdin until reaching end-of-file,
and then break the result up into lines (by whatever means)?

What if it said "read line-by-line from a file named on the command
line"?  Would it then be "cheating" to mmap the file, and then
break it up into lines?
