FarNet Wiki

FarNet is the Far Manager platform for .NET modules and scripting in PowerShell, F#, JavaScript.

Far Manager is a file manager for Microsoft Windows. In addition to file system tools it provides the console command line, file viewer, and text editor with syntax highlighting.

Far Manager is also the platform for numerous plugins. Plugins may be created using its C and Pascal API or using wrappers for other languages.

FarNet is such a wrapper. It provides the object oriented .NET API and the runtime infrastructure for FarNet modules.

Major modules:

• PowerShellFar implements the PowerShell Core host and turns Far Manager into the unique console based integrated scripting environment.
• FSharpFar provides the complete F# scripting tool set portable with Far Manager. F# scripts may run in Far Manager and use FarNet API or without Far Manager by the included fsx.exe tool.
• JavaScriptFar runs JavaScript scripts in .NET with FarNet API for Far Manager. The module is built with Microsoft ClearScript and Google V8 JavaScript engine.
