NAME
mongo - the Mongo command-line tool
SYNOPSIS
mongo [OPTIONS] [DB_ADDRESS] [FILE+]
DESCRIPTION
mongo is a JavaScript shell (with GNU readline capabilities). It
supports interactive and non-interactive use. When used interactively,
JavaScript can be used to query the database or perform any other
function normally available with SpiderMonkey. Database output is
displayed in JSON format.
If JavaScript files are specified on the command line, the shell will
run non-interactively, running each one in sequence and then exiting.
