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 (⇒
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.
