screen: Commands

 
 5 Commands
 **********
 
 A command in 'screen' can either be bound to a key, invoked from a
 screenrc file, or called from the 'colon' prompt (See
 Customization).  As of version 3.3, all commands can be bound to keys,
 although some may be less useful than others.  For a number of real life
 working examples of the most important commands see the files
 'etc/screenrc' and 'etc/etcscreenrc' of your screen distribution.
 
    In this manual, a command definition looks like this:
 
 - Command: command [-n] ARG1 [ARG2] ...
      (KEYBINDINGS)
      This command does something, but I can't remember what.
 
    An argument in square brackets ('[]') is optional.  Many commands
 take an argument of 'on' or 'off', which is indicated as STATE in the
 definition.
