Apart from interactive and non-interactive mode (JBEAP-5018), CLI can also be used programmatically via CLI public api. We should reflect this in product documentation.

CLI public api upstream documentation and example:
- https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/JBossAS7Command-linePublicAPI

User can use any JVM-based scripting language using a simplified wrapper class for the CLI API - org.jboss.as.cli.scriptsupport.CLI see comments
- https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/AdvancedCLIScriptingWithGroovyRhinoJythonEtc

If user wants to connect to a remote JBoss EAP instance without installing the server on his local machine, he can use the CLI remote client jar. It is called jboss-cli-client.jar and it is located in <JBOSS_HOME>/bin/client (also available as Maven dependency)
