I think using "command" instead of "program" would be more consistent with other pages.

However I sort of agree that in this case program makes more sense. You're essentially passing the data to the program while the command is just the syntax for the program. Does anyone have any differing opinions?

I think both would work fine here in English, but translating command is easier/more direct than program in most languages, since "program" might mean a computer program or an event. But in case of command it just has a singular meaning.
