NAME

6       mongo - the Mongo command-line tool
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mongo [OPTIONS] [DB_ADDRESS] [FILE+]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       mongo  is a JavaScript shell (with GNU readline capabilities).  It sup‐
13       ports interactive and non-interactive use.   When  used  interactively,
14       JavaScript can be used to query the database or perform any other func‐
15       tion normally available with SpiderMonkey.   Database  output  is  dis‐
16       played in JSON format.
17
18       If  JavaScript  files are specified on the command line, the shell will
19       run non-interactively, running each one in sequence and then exiting.
