“TERMINAL.APP”
.
.
.
.
-[terminal] is the ‘terminal emulator’ included in the ‘OS X operating system’ by [apple]-
.
(‘terminal’ originated in ‘NeXTSTEP’ + ‘OPENSTEP’)
(the predecessor operating systems of ‘OS X’)
(as a ‘terminal emulator’, the application provides ‘text-based access’ to the ‘operating system’, in contrast to the mostly ‘graphical nature’ of the ‘user experience’ of ‘OS X’, by providing a ‘command line interface’ to the operating system when used in conjunction with a ‘unix shell’ (such as ‘bash’))
(the ‘preferences dialog’ for ‘terminal.app’ in OS X 10.8 (‘mountain lion’) + later offers choices for values of the ‘TERM environment variable’)
.
*available options are…*
‘ansi‘
‘dtterm‘
‘nsterm‘
‘rxvt‘
‘vt52‘
‘vt100‘
‘vt102‘
‘xterm‘
‘xterm-16color‘
‘xterm-256color‘
.
(…which differ from the OS X 10.5 (‘leopard’) choices by dropping the xterm-color + adding xterm-16color + ‘xterm-256color’)
.
(these settings do not alter the operation of ‘terminal’)
(the ‘xterm settings’ do not match the behavior of ‘xterm’)
(‘terminal’ includes several features that specifically access OS X APIs + features)
(these include the ability to use the standard ‘OS X help’ search function to find ‘manual pages’ + ‘integration’ with ‘spotlight’)
.
(‘terminal’ was used by ‘apple’ as a showcase for OS X ‘graphics APIs’ in early advertising of ‘Mac OS X’, offering a range of custom ‘font’ / ‘coloring’ options, including ‘transparent backgrounds’)
