Why?

There are many non-GUI file managers. Unfortunately, they are all TUIs which means that they miss out on many of the benefits of CLIs: efficiency, scriptability, and speed. Although I've never seen it online, this really comes down to the CLI vs TUI debate.

cfm aims to make file management using a CLI more efficient than it was previously possible with the coreutils and other CLI tools. It works by being a wrapper, around any already existing command, that expands file paths using some predefined rules.
