Command Line

A command-line user interface (CLI) allows users to interact with computer programs by issuing text-based commands. It is managed by a command language interpreter or shell and is sometimes the only means of communication with a server. While CLIs are hardware-efficient and robust, they require time for users to become accustomed to them.

Command-Line

● A command-line user interface (CLI), also known as a


console user interface, and character user interface
(CUI), is a means of interacting with a computer
program where the user (or client) issues commands
to the program in the form of successive lines of text
(command lines).
● A program which handles the interface is called a
command language interpreter or shell.
● Communication with a server sometimes is only
possible using a command-line user interface.
