How command line tool communicates with browser?

It is a command line tool force-cli

When use force login, it opens browser and ask for Oauth login. After authorization, the browser closes and go back to command line tool.

I am new to command line tool (Terminal.app or cmd.exe)

My question is how command line tool communicates with browser. i.e. How force login command opens browser and how browser closes and go back to command line.

For opening browser from command line (cmd.exe in Windows or terminal in Linux-systems) you just need to know URL of page that you want to open and use some of appropriate command. For Windows command line it's start URL, for Linux - firefox URL, x-www-browser URL or some distributions have xdg-open URL, for MacOSX it is rumored to be open URL. For more information you can read this article.
