  Command prompt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A command prompt (or just prompt) is a character or string of characters used in a command line interface to indicate that the computer is ready to accept typed input.
Command prompts usually end with characters such as $, #, : or > and often include other information, such as the path of the current working directory.
It is common to allow prompts to be modifiable by the user.

 Command line interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commands are entered as lines of text (that is, sequences of typed characters) from a keyboard, and output is also received as text.
In its simplest form, a CLI displays a prompt, the user types a command on the keyboard and terminates the command (usually with the Enter key), and the computer executes the command, providing textual output.
Another redirection character is the pipe (''), which tells the CLI to use the output of one command as the input to the next command; this "operator-stream" mechanism can be very powerful, as explained under pipeline (Unix).
