dtach does not, however, have the other features of screen, such as its support of multiple terminals or its terminal emulation support. This makes dtach extremely tiny compared to screen, making it more easily audited for bugs and security holes, and also allows it to fit in environments where space is limited, such as on rescue disks.

This program can start processes inside a pseudo-terminal, which can be accessed through a Unix socket, TCP or even raw ethernet (using the ethernet protocol 0xCACA). The programs can be linked to the current terminal, or they can be unlinked like in nohup. But even in this latter case you can
