szövegfelületet

The Hungarian term "szövegfelületet" translates to "text interface" in English. It refers to a way of interacting with a computer or software that relies solely on text-based input and output. Unlike graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that utilize windows, icons, and menus, text interfaces present information and accept commands through typed characters.

Historically, text interfaces were the primary mode of interaction with computers. Users would type commands at a command prompt or within a terminal emulator to perform tasks, navigate directories, and run applications. This required users to memorize specific commands and their syntax. Examples include the command-line interface (CLI) found in operating systems like DOS, Unix, and Linux.

Modern applications, while predominantly GUI-based, often retain or offer optional text interface elements for specific purposes. These can include scripting capabilities, automation, or for users who prefer the efficiency and precision that text commands can offer. Developers and system administrators frequently use text interfaces for their power and flexibility in managing complex systems and performing repetitive tasks. The simplicity of text interfaces also makes them efficient for low-resource environments or remote access where bandwidth is limited.
