A command-line interpreter (also known as a command-line shell) is a computer program that reads lines of text entered by a user and interprets them in the context of a given operating system or programming language.

Command-line interpreters allow users to issue various commands in a very efficient way. This requires the user to know the names of the commands and their parameters, and the syntax of the language that is interpreted.
