Hans-G?nter@25294 1 Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a
Hans-G?nter@25294 2 physical terminal between several processes, typically
Hans-G?nter@25294 3 interactive shells.
Hans-G?nter@25294 4 Each virtual terminal provides the functions of the
Hans-G?nter@25294 5 DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control
Hans-G?nter@25294 6 functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022
Hans-G?nter@25294 7 standards (e.g., insert and delete line and support for
Hans-G?nter@25294 8 multiple character sets).
Hans-G?nter@25294 9 There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual
Hans-G?nter@25294 10 terminal and a copy-and-paste mechanism that allows the
Hans-G?nter@25294 11 user to move text regions between windows.
Hans-G?nter@25294 12 When screen is called, it creates a single window with a
Hans-G?nter@25294 13 shell in it (or the specified command) and then gets out of
Hans-G?nter@25294 14 your way so that you can use the program as you normally
Hans-G?nter@25294 15 would. Then, at any time, you can create new (full-screen)
Hans-G?nter@25294 16 windows with other programs in them (including more shells),
Hans-G?nter@25294 17 kill the current window, view a list of the active windows,
Hans-G?nter@25294 18 turn output logging on and off, copy text between windows,
Hans-G?nter@25294 19 view the scrollback history, switch between windows, etc.
Hans-G?nter@25294 20 All windows run their programs completely independent of
Hans-G?nter@25294 21 each other.
Hans-G?nter@25294 22 Programs continue to run when their window is currently not
Hans-G?nter@25294 23 visible and even when the whole screen session is detached
Hans-G?nter@25294 24 from the users terminal.
