CLI
CLI (Command Line Interface) is a command line interface through which a user can interact with software and the operating system by entering text commands at the command line.
The principle of CLI
.
The CLI accepts text input from the user, interprets the command, and executes the operation. The command line interface allows direct interaction with the system, so we can say that CLI is a highly efficient tool for executing commands.
Comparing the CLI with a graphical user interface
Unlike graphical user interfaces (GUIs), which use visual elements such as icons and windows, the CLI is based on text input. Although GUIs are user-friendly and intuitive, CLIs provide a higher level of control and efficiency.
The Role of CLI in Programming and System Administration
CLI provides a direct way to interact with the system. In addition, the CLI supports scripting, meaning that commands can be written and executed automatically. Therefore, it can be used to automate many tasks.
