tmux

tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals (or windows), each running a separate program, to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.

The latest version is tmux %%VERSION%%.

tmux uses a client-server model. The server holds multiple sessions and each window is an independent entity which may be freely linked to multiple sessions, moved between sessions and otherwise manipulated. Each session may be attached to (display and accept keyboard input from) multiple clients.

tmux is intended to be a modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen. Major features include:

tmux is part of the OpenBSD base system. The portable version is hosted on SourceForge and runs on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and AIX.

tmux depends on libevent 1.4 or 2.0 and a terminfo implementation (normally ncurses).
