- outofpaper 7mo agoIf anything a CLU, a Command Line Utility would be the best thing to call the small programs that both van be run as one offs from the command line and have their output piped to other Command Line Utilities... I don't know why the term isn't being used more. CLU keep it simple. CLIs are a catch all from every single CLU up to MidnightCommander, Zork, Mosh, and OpenCode.
- pwdisswordfishy 7mo ago> CLIs are a catch all from every single CLU up to MidnightCommander No they're not, for reason just explained. CLI means "command-line interface". Midnight Commander runs in a terminal emulator, but it's not a CLI.
