Description
Hi,
the [geobuf 1.0.1](https://www.npmjs.com/package/geobuf/v/1.0.1#command-line) had a CLI to convert a topojson to a pbf:
> json2geobuf: turn GeoJSON or **TopoJSON** from stdin or specified file to Geobuf on stdout
[Current geobuf version](https://www.npmjs.com/package/geobuf#command-line) also still has the CLIs but without the topojson support.
topobuf seems to have no such CLIs. I have a bunch of topojson files that I want to send from a normal http server (apache) to a map framework like MapLibre or OpenLayers. The idea is to save network bandwidth.
But how to convert the topojson to topobuf format?

Research direction
Review the linked geobuf 1.0.1 and current CLI documentation first, then determine how topobuf currently exposes its conversion entry points. Done means a usable CLI converts TopoJSON from stdin or a specified file into topobuf/PBF for serving to MapLibre or OpenLayers.
