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  dis-
       played 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.
