No, GUI stands for Graphic User Interface. It contains graphic contents and you can use all features of OS using that interface only. However you always have a terminal, and you can do things by commandline if you wish.

GUI's are event-driven, not command driven. When you invoke a GUI command (whether from the command line or via a mouse-click) you are actually triggering an event.

How would you explain GUI in detail?

GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. If you're a windows user, think about your desktop and all of the icons that you are able to click on. There are several operating systems (mainly older ones) that are command driven, but with most operating systems these days, they use a GUI to help you better navigate through programs.


How does one make a C GUI application?

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is, first and foremost, an event-driven program that runs on top of a command-line-driven operating system. Designing a GUI completely from scratch is not something to be undertaken lightly. The easiest way to create a GUI is to use a framework. Visual C++ provides the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) framework which allows you to build Windows applications that conform to the Windows GUI, whilst giving you the freedom to design your own elements that can interact with the GUI, even if they bear no resemblance to the standard GUI elements. However, you cannot alter the Windows GUI itself (globally, that is) as it is an intrinsic component of the operating system. Although you can manipulate GUI elements in real-time, this places a huge strain upon resources and will greatly impede the overall performance. Under Linux you have far greater freedom because the command-line-driven kernel is completely separate from the GUI, thus you are free to design your own. This allows you to completely alter the GUI in any way you see fit. Again, a GUI framework is the easiest way to begin as it provides all the basic elements of a GUI, including message queues, memory management and multi-tasking -- all you really have to do is design the visual aspects of each element.


Advantages of command driven interface?

A CLI interface can be implemented on far fewer resources. The CLI is far better for scripting and automated purposes, as well as issuing simple commands. Finally, a CLI interface is generally not subject to copyright, whereas GUIs are.

Why GUI not used in UNIX?

A GUI can be used in Unix (in fact, several). Most power users don't use the GUI because it can be too limiting. The power of what you can do in Unix is at the command line, not using a GUI to click on buttons. Of course, this could be said about most operating systems; the GUI is there for user convenience but most administrators use the command line for most of their work.
