===== screen Terminology ===== | |
| |
**session** A screen session is a single collection of windows all running with the same grouping. Copy and paste only work within a particular session, and all window numbers within each session are unique. There is a single master screen process for each session. | |
| |
**window** A session can contain multiple windows. Each window can run a different program (by default, windows are created running a shell). Each window has a number unique within that session. It also has a name, which does not have to be unique. | |
| |
**region** A portion of the display where a screen window is visible. The display can be split into multiple regions, so you can see multiple windows at once. | |
| |
**display** This refers to where the screen session is attached; if being specific, it refers to the terminal or pseudoterminal used by the attaching process. | |
| |
**display terminal** The terminal to which screen is attached. Often an xterm or console window, but could be any terminal, either physical or software. | |
| |
**virtual terminal** The terminal that screen windows provide to the programs running within them. | |
