+Command-line applications, also referred to as
+`Console Applications <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Console_application>`_,
+are computer programs designed to be used from a text interface, such as a
+`shell <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(computing)>`_. Command-line
+applications usually accept various inputs as arguments, often referred to as
+parameters or sub-commands, as well as options, often referred to as flags or
+switches.

+
+* `Grep <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep>`_ - A plain-text data search utility
+* `curl <http://curl.haxx.se/>`_ - A tool for data transfer with URL syntax

+  client, a user-friendly cURL replacement
