Here is the documentation about gvm-cli connection types.

Most of the commands on the top of that page just simply declare the connection type without a flag after the gvm-cli command like so:

$ gvm-cli socket --xml "<get_version/>"

You can also check out Chapter 3 of the gvm-tools documentation which has some examples.
