Starting Vim at a certain position (line and column) of a file

Question

To start at a specific line I would use:

$ vim FILE +LINE 

But what parameter needs to be passed to vim to position the cursor in a certain column of this line?

Answer 1

One way to do that would be:

vim "+call cursor(<LINE>, <COLUMN>)" 

For completeness this is another way:

vim "+normal <LINE>G<COLUMN>|"
