-long_desc="
- 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."
