    GNU Screen is a terminal multiplexer that allows a single terminal buffer to run multiple windows that can be split into panes, allowing the user to see and control multiple terminal sessions at once from a single keyboard. Key commands allow the user to start and attach to screen sessions, create and move between windows, split windows into panes, and get information about sessions. Ctrl-A is used as a prefix for most screen commands.
