That would be a semi-contradiction; the command line would need to be already running in order to enter a command. The name of the program that actually provides the command line is called a shell. There are many different shells available for Linux, including Bash, ash, C Shell, fish, ksh, zsh, and scsh.

The default command shell is /bin/sh (not /bin/bash, note).
