<p>Your task is to write a program <code>cams</code> that will be processing input from the
cams that are capable of identifying license plates on the cars and then
print out summary based on the input data. Your contributions to the society are
very much appreciated and may (or may not) be used for (each or none) of the
following purposes<sup><a href="#user-content-fn-1" id="user-content-fnref-1" data-footnote-ref="true" aria-describedby="footnote-label">1</a></sup>:</p>

<p>Input for your program consists of the data from the cameras. You will be given
the data from the cameras as a path to a file and user should also be able to
specify <code>-</code> (i.e. <code>stdin</code>) as the path.</p>
<p>Each “scan” (i.e. reading) of the cameras consists of the following data:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><em>camera ID</em>: non-negative integer identifying a camera</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>plate</em>: string of unknown length that can consist of any characters apart
from whitespace</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>timestamp</em>: date and time of the scan as an unsigned integer (represented as
a UNIX time)</p>
