GNOME Terminal
GNOME Terminal
Terminal is a terminal emulator application for accessing a UNIX shell environment which can be used to run programs available on your system. Terminal supports escape sequences that control cursor position and colors. A terminal is a text input point in a computer that is also called the Command Line Interface (CLI). IBM 3270, VT100 and many others are hardware terminals that are no longer produced as physical devices. To emulate these terminals, there are terminal emulators. Any input entered in the Terminal to be executed is referred to as a command. You can run both command line and graphical user interface (GUI) programs from the terminal. If you have a program that ends abruptly without any warning or error, you may want to run it in Terminal. This will allow the program to output any error or debugging messages to the Terminal window. This information can be helpful when filing a bug report.
