1. What is ‘screen’?

Screen manages multiple sets of terminal windows (panes), allowing you to switch between them while keeping them all running. You can also run multiple screen sessions, each with their own set of panes, and switch between sessions while keeping them all running. It’s like having multiple desktops, but only for terminal windows.
