Notably, xterm is one of the few terminals, that acknowledges the fact that it lives in anĮmulator and is not a physical terminal (see terminal emulator)Īnd thus includes codes that manipulate the emulator window itself. Xterm vastly expands the codes and possibilites over those. (xterm controls are actually a superset of these), While the above code actually also works in some (but not all) other terminal types, like
Rather than displaying all the text, the xterm terminal will interpretĪs commands that tell it to highlight the text that is received between them. Screen with the word "error" highlighted, the host would send in order to send the text "this is an error!" to the user's Text from left to right and top to bottom like an old teletype (TTY).Į.g. xterm terminals also allow the server to interact withĪs all terminal types, xterm is a standard that allows the server to send text to the user's screen.īy embedding special controls in the text, these codes allow control over the placement andĭisplay charachacteristics (location, color, etc.) of the text, rather than merely displaying
Terminals, like the placement of the xterm terminal window on the user's screen or setting the title To allow the server to control special characteristics that go beyond the requirements of physical Xterm extends the possibilities of earlier terminal emulation definitions like DEC These codes also allow control over the placement and display charachacteristics (location, color, etc.) Xterm is a standard that allows the server to send text to the user's screen. Terminal emulator program for the VAXStation 100 (VS100)
It was originally written as a stand-alone Xterm originated prior to the X Window System. Input/output and each in fact simulating a physical standalone terminal. Invocations of xterm running at once on the same display, each of which provides independent In computing, xterm is the standard terminal emulatorįor the X Window System.
