dtach is a tiny program that emulates the detach feature of screen,
|
|
allowing you to run a program in an environment that is protected
|
|
from the controlling terminal and attach to it later. dtach does not
|
|
keep track of the contents of the screen, and thus works best with
|
|
programs that know how to redraw themselves. It is designed to be
|
|
transparent and un-intrusive; it avoids interpreting the input and
|
|
output between attached terminals and the program under its control.
|
|
|
|
dtach does not, however, have the other features of screen, such as its
|
|
support of multiple terminals or its terminal emulation support. This
|
|
makes dtach extremely tiny compared to screen, making it more easily
|
|
audited for bugs and security holes, and also allows it to fit in
|
|
environments where space is limited, such as on rescue disks.
