Each virtual +terminal provides the functions of the DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, +several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 standards +(e.g., insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a +scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste +mechanism that allows the user to move text regions between windows. When +screen is called, it creates a single window with a shell in it (or the +specified command) and then gets out of your way so that you can use the +program as you normally would. Then, at any time, you can create new +(full-screen) windows with other programs in them (including more shells), kill +the current window, view a list of the active windows, turn output logging on +and off, copy text between windows, view the scrollback history, switch between +windows, etc. All windows run their programs completely independent of each +other. Programs continue to run when their window is currently not visible and +even when the whole screen session is detached from the users terminal.") + (license "gpl2"))) |
