A command line interface (CLI), as the name implies, is a user interface pattern consisting of an application that you pass arguments to it through the command line to form a request/command to be executed by the application.
This type of user interface also covers features such as exit code and text input/output through standard streams as to allow programs to be compostable through pipes.
For example, '$ cp origin rest', '$ grep -Ri foo /opt | sort', etc.
A terminal user interface (TUI) is a type of user interface which uses a terminal's limited features to provide a windowed user interface that supports interactivity.
For example, see apps like vim, fdisk, etc.
