Text UI or interactive, not command line.  With a command line program
you enter the program name, some options and some arguments at the shell
prompt and hit enter.  The program runs, sends its output (if any) to
the standard output and its error message (if any) to the standard
error.  The shell prompt then returns.  Grep is a command line program.
