Command Line Interface. It enables you to type out commands instead of using a GUI.

The save folders don't always transfer properly, and I know how to use the links so I have no reason to use steams tools to fix it, though I was just trying to give an example so the op would have an idea about cmd's uses.

The thing I do most in Windows with it are internet connection test with "ping <site>" command and finding PCs internal IP for router troubleshooting. Can't remember command for that now.

On Linux I use console (same thing) to update and install stuff which don't have mainstream support.
