Overview

Command Prompt is a feature of Microsoft Window operation system that provides an entry point for a command line interface  or CLI. A CLI is used whenever a large vocabulary of commands or queries, coupled with a wide (or arbitrary) range of options, can be entered more rapidly as text than with a pure GUI.

A simple CLI displays a prompt, accept a "command line" typed by the user terminated by the Enter key, then execute the specified command and provide textual display of results or error messages.
