\"Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal 
between several processes, typically interactive shells. 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.
