Introdución a Terminal

Que é un emulador de terminal?

The UNIX operating system was originally designed as a text-only system, controlled by commands entered with a keyboard. This is known as a command-line interface (CLI). The X Window System, Xfce, and other projects have since added a graphical user interface to UNIX, that's what you are actually using now. But the addition of a graphical user interface doesn't mean that the CLI is dead. The CLI is still around and is frequently the easiest, fastest, and most powerful way to perform a certain task. In fact, power users would be lost without the CLI.

Terminal is what is known as an X terminal emulator, often referred to as terminal or shell. It provides an equivalent to the old-fashioned text screen on your desktop, but one which can easily share the screen with other graphical applications. Windows users may already be familiar with the MS-DOS Prompt utility, which has the analogous function of offering a DOS command-line under Windows, though one should note that the UNIX CLI offer far more power and ease of use than does DOS.

Terminal emulates the xterm application developed by the X Consortium. In turn, the xterm application emulates the DEC VT102 terminal and also supports the DEC VT220 escape sequences. An escape sequence is a series of characters that start with the Esc character. Terminal accepts all of the escape sequences that the VT102 and VT220 terminals use for functions such as to position the cursor and to clear the screen.

Que fai especial a Terminal?

Terminal's advanced features include a simple configuration interface, the ability to use multiple tabs with terminals within a single window, the possibility to have a pseudo-transparent terminal background, and a compact mode (where both the menubar and the window decorations are hidden) that helps you to save space on your desktop.

Están dispoñibles as seguintes funcionalidades clave:

  • Multiple tabs per window
  • Barras de ferramentas personalizables, que se poden cambiar usando un editor gráfico de barras de ferramentas integrado
  • Ability to configure nearly every aspect of Terminal in the Preferencias dialog plus a bunch of so called opcións ocultas
  • Boa integración con Ambiente de escritorio Xfce en particular, pero tamén con calquera outro escritorio para Linux
  • Soporte de xestión de sesións
  • Real multihead support (both MultiScreen and Xinerama mode)
  • Cumprimento de estándares (consulte o sitio web freedesktop.org)
  • D-BUS based terminal service facility to minimize the overall resource usage
  • High degree of maintainability by making best use of GTK+ and GObject.

Ademais destas funcionalidades clave, Terminal ten tódalas funcionalidades que se agardan dun emulador de terminal moderno.
