The man page for vi says:

   Vi is a screen oriented text editor.  Ex is a line-oriented text edi-
   tor.  Ex and vi are different interfaces to the same program, ...

VI is a VIsual editor.  If you have commands you'd like to execute on
stdin, try using ex.  If your stdin uses commands that exist in vim but
not in ex, I'd recommend rewriting your stdin....
