Most programs that use files for input and output accept the file
names and open the files themselves.

If instead you are trying to use a text file as if it were information
typed in from the keyboard and capture the console output instead of
it going to the screen then perhaps you were looking for redirection.
If that is what you wanted I do not remember any standard of using -i
and -o for that.  Try it this way.

  filename <inputfilename >outputfilename
