No. It's literally just an in memory buffer that you interact with from PHP.
In Solo (https://github.com/soloterm/solo https://github.com/soloterm/solo) we do use GNU screen though.
- cf100clunk 2y agoThanks, good to know. You and others may have noticed some odd activities in this thread (I use Refined Hacker News and can see them) so I'm glad for your responses to my well-meant comments.
- aarondf 2y agoYeah someone's really got a vendetta against SA and HN right now huh? Weird stuff!
- jmholla 2y agoIt seems to me that you can, from within the terminal that it provides, I supposed depending on what shell you run within the emulator. Your example even shows you running tail, so I expect it's running some sort of shell I'd expect screen could be available on. Unless, this terminal emulator is missing specific features that mean screen doesn't work in it, which would make me feel the definition has been stretched a little here. Either way, I have to heavily agree with duskwuff's take: > They're both pieces of software which implement or interact with terminal emulators; I think some deconfliction is warranted here. Edit: I've learned from a different comment [0] that the latter is indeed the case. This isn't really a terminal emulator.
