tmux
Tmux serves as a versatile terminal multiplexer, allowing users to create, access, and manage multiple terminal sessions from a single interface. One of its key features is the ability to detach sessions, enabling them to run in the background, which can later be reattached just as they were left. Each window within tmux is operated as a distinct client process, and it supports color through ANSI/ISO standards via VT220 control sequences. Users can easily configure tmux using its example tmux.conf file and extensive man page. Built with minimal dependencies, it relies on libevent 2.x and ncurses, requiring only a C compiler, make, pkg-config, and Yacc for compilation. Its lightweight, single-screen design, combined with comprehensive documentation and cross-platform compatibility, makes tmux an efficient and standards-compliant choice for terminal workflow management. Additionally, its ability to handle multiple sessions seamlessly enhances productivity for users who rely on command-line interfaces.
