CLI

From Computer Science Wiki
Command line interface[1]


A command-line interface or command language interpreter (CLI), also known as command-line user interface, 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).[2]


Command line

The Command line interface, as opposed to a graphical user interface (GUI) is less abstract. The command line interface is sparse, not very visual, but "more true" in my opinion. I prefer the command line because it removes one layer of abstraction from my work.
