The interface that this Perforce manual describes. If you're looking at this glossary entry because you don't know what a command line is, and you're expecting to use a GUI, you're in the wrong manual.
A command line is generally a [B/D] command, followed by apparopriate arguments to the command. The arguments must be separated from the command by at least one space, or by one colon.

The instructions you type next to the shell prompt. Command lines can contain commands, arguments, and filenames. You can enter more than one command on a command line by joining commands with a pipe (|), or by separating commands using the command separator (;).
