It is ionic, because any bond between a hydrogen atom and a polyatomic ion (Hydrogen + polyatomic ion = acid) is always ionic. H+ plus Cl-: hydrogen is a positive ion, chlorine is a negative ion, they attract, HCl is formed, which is hydrochloric acid.

Why, you ask?
both elements in that compound are both NONMETALS.
thus, making a covalent bond.

Is CO an ionic or covalent compound?
Covalent
Is CO a ionic compound or a pure covalent compound?
I'm not sure what you mean by "purely covalent", since the ionic-vs-covalent distinction is expressed in terms of electronegativity, which can take a range of values (higher values = more ionic). CO is very much a covalent compound though.
Is Sr3N2 an ionic or covalent compound?
Strontium nitride is an ionic compound.
