  • There's no standards requirement to interpret the argument '-' as stdin [1]
  • The pod documentation did not mention the '-' argument having a special meaning
  • Align the code with OpenBSD version: stdin is used if no file arguments are given
  • head is supposed to be the inverse of tail, and tail doesn't support '-' as stdin
  • This patch removes functionality; head becomes more consistent with tail
