SYNOPSIS

cli4 [options] [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

The cli4 command is not a standard utility in major Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, or Arch Linux. No man page (man cli4) or official documentation exists in core repositories.

It may refer to a third-party tool, custom script, package-specific binary (e.g., from a niche application like networking CLI tools or Cisco-related utilities), or a misspelling of commands like clip (clipboard), cloc (code line counter), or curl. If installed via a package manager (e.g., apt search cli4 or yum search cli4), it could be part of specialized software.

Users encountering cli4 should check local installations with which cli4, type cli4, or locate cli4. Without context, no reliable usage or features can be confirmed.

CAVEATS

Not present in standard Linux PATH or man pages. May require specific package installation or be a custom alias/script. Running unknown commands poses security risks.
Verify with command -v cli4 before use.

HISTORY

No documented history or development timeline available, as cli4 is not part of coreutils, busybox, or standard GNU tools. Potentially from proprietary or community projects post-2020.
