Command Line Interface (CLI)

Return to Public Area | Return to Public Area

The following is a proposal for a Command Line Interface (CLI) for accessing Distributed Immutable Data Objects (DIDOs) using a text-based interface to interact with the DIDO Platform. The CLI allows the user (person or application) to interact with the DIDO Platform by entering text commands at a prompt and receiving a responses as text. Usually, the CLI is an application running within an Operating System (OS) using a Command Shell on the same machine as the DIDO Platform or using a Secure Shell (SSH) at a prompt by typing single commands into the interface and receiving a reply in the same way. CLI is quite different from the graphical user interface (GUI) that is presently being used in the latest operating systems. https://www.techopedia.com/definition/3337/command-line-interface-cli
