tmux is anopen-sourceterminal multiplexer forUnix-likeoperating systems. It allows multipleterminal sessions to be accessed simultaneously in a single window. It is useful for running more than onecommand-line program at the same time. It can also be used to detachprocesses from their controlling terminals, allowing remote sessions to remain active without being visible.[3]
tmux includes most features ofGNU Screen. It allows users to start a terminal session with clients that are not bound to a specific physical or virtual console; multiple terminal sessions can be created within a single terminal session and then freely rebound from one virtual console to another, and each session can have several connected clients.
Some notable tmux features are:[4]
tmux lacks built-inserial port andtelnet support.[4] It uses different command keys from the ones used by screen, so it is not a drop-in replacement for screen, but it can be configured to use compatiblekeybindings.
tmux is included in theOpenBSD base system,[7] and is available as apackage for many otherUnix-like operating systems.[6]
