Описание тега terminal-emulator
Terminal emulators are programs that emulate a terminal within some other display architecture. Often associated with a command line shell, but the term extends to all remote terminals and their graphical interfaces.
Terminal emulators emulate a terminal, typically within a graphical user interface (GUI). The type of terminal emulated may vary and range from terminals such as VT100, IBM 3270/8/9/E, Sun console, QNX, AT386, SCO-ANSI, and many others. Additionally, programs have been developed to emulate other terminal emulators such as xterm and assorted console terminals (e.g., for Linux). Finally, some emulations simply refer to a standard, such as ANSI. Terminal emulators are available on many platforms ranging from DOS and Unix to Windows and Macintosh, to embedded operating systems found in cellphones and industrial hardware.
Popular terminal emulators include xterm, aterm, gnome-terminal, konsole, rxvt, PuTTY, SecureCRT, and many others.
