  1. cli

    A CLI, or Command Line Interface, is a text-based interface used for interacting with software or hardware. It allows users to input commands in the form of successive lines of text (command lines) to perform specific tasks or functions within an operating system. This is in contrast to graphical user interfaces (GUI) that use visual representations and elements that users can interact with. CLIs are often used by programmers and system administrators for tasks that require precise control or scripting.
