Correct description of kubectl (#18172)
* Correct description of kubectl Given that `kubectl` is not a [command line interface (CLI)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface), I suggest calling it what it is -- a control utility (ctl = control). The term "tool" is commonly used in place of "utility," including the `kubectl` docs. A CLI presents the user with a command prompt at which the user can enter multiple command lines that a command-line interpreter interprets and processes. Think of `bash`, `emacs`, or a SQL shell. Since `kubectl` is not run in a shell, it is not a CLI. Here are related docs that correctly refer to `kubectl` as a "command-line tool": - https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/tools/#kubectl - https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/glossary/?fundamental=true#term-kubectl - https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/ - https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/kubectl/ * Update content/en/docs/reference/kubectl/overview.md Co-Authored-By: Zach Corleissen <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Zach Corleissen <[email protected]>
