A command language is a language for
job control in computing.
[ ] It is a
domain-specific and
interpreted language; common examples of a command language are
shell or
batch programming languages.
These languages can be used directly at the
command line, but can also automate tasks that would normally be performed manually at the command line. They share this domain—lightweight automation—with
scripting languages, though a command language usually has stronger
coupling to the underlying
operating system. Command languages often have either very simple grammars or
syntaxes very close to
natural language, making them more intuitive to learn, as with many other domain-specific languages.
