far command mode

To use far in command mode, type

far

You will get an far> prompt. You can then use any of the available commands. When you want to exit far, type quit.

Wildcards can be used in command mode in the ordinary way, without being "escaped" as in line mode.

You cannot use piping or I/O redirection in command mode. Command mode cannot be directly used in a batch job. However, you can use a "here document" in a batch job as input to far:

far <<EOF
ls document
get document
EOF
