screen: Screen Command

 
 6.2 Screen Command
 ==================
 
  -- Command: screen [opts] [n] [cmd [args] | //GROUP]
      ('C-a c', 'C-a C-c')
      Establish a new window.  The flow-control options ('-f', '-fn' and
      '-fa'), title option ('-t'), login options ('-l' and '-ln') ,
      terminal type option ('-T TERM'), the all-capability-flag ('-a')
      and scrollback option ('-h NUM') may be specified with each
      command.  The option ('-M') turns monitoring on for this window.
      The option ('-L') turns output logging on for this window.  If an
      optional number N in the range 0...MAXWIN-1 is given, the window
      number N is assigned to the newly created window (or, if this
      number is already in-use, the next available number).  If a command
      is specified after 'screen', this command (with the given
      arguments) is started in the window; otherwise, a shell is created.
      If '//group' is supplied, a container-type window is created in
      which other windows may be created inside it.  SeeWindow
      Groups.
 
      Screen has built in some functionality of 'cu' and 'telnet'.  See
      Window Types.
 
    Thus, if your '.screenrc' contains the lines
 
      # example for .screenrc:
      screen 1
      screen -fn -t foobar 2 -L telnet foobar
 
 'screen' creates a shell window (in window #1) and a window with a
 TELNET connection to the machine foobar (with no flow-control using the
 title 'foobar' in window #2) and will write a logfile 'screenlog.2' of
 the telnet session.  If you do not include any 'screen' commands in your
 '.screenrc' file, then 'screen' defaults to creating a single shell
 window, number zero.  When the initialization is completed, 'screen'
 switches to the last window specified in your .screenrc file or, if
 none, it opens default window #0.
