glossary
teletype - Historically sometime between the telegraph and the fax came the teletype machine. A teletype machine was a printer combined with an electric typewriter keyboard. These devices allowed for electric long-distance text communications.
tty - an abbreviation for teletype.
console - The teletype machine happened to be a convenient way for a human to communicate with a computer. The printer was eventually replaced by an electronic CRT display or monitor. But the monitor still looked just like a printer, with scrolling lines of user input and program output.
terminal - When multi-user capabilities came about, the operator continued to use the console, and the additional users were each given a terminal. The console and the terminals were nearly identical, though perhaps you could identify some differences:
- One console was hard-wired into the computer and was activated during the boot process.
- Multiple terminals are plugged in via serial cables and come alive when a user logs in.
GUI - The graphical user interface was designed at Xerox PARC and found its way to market in Steve Job’s Macintosh . Mouse, keyboard, monitor. Desktop metaphor with icons for folders, documents, printers and trash cans. Drag and drop.
terminal emulator - For many, the GUI is just a fancy covering on the terminal. If you want to do real work, you’ll do it in a terminal window running in the GUI.
Terminal Multiplexer - There are two popular terminal multiplexers: tmux and screen. Both of these programs allow the user to do two things:
- Manage multiple terminal sessions in one window without a GUI.
- Run terminal sessions in the background, so you can detach and re-attach.
