What is Terminal Control?
It is the process of giving instructions to the computer directly via the command line, without using a graphical interface (mouse and windows).
Overview
It is the management of the operating system or applications by text-based commands typed by the user via the keyboard. It allows faster and more precise operations by overcoming the visual limitations offered by the graphical interface. It is an indispensable method for professional software developers.
How it works
Open the terminal application on your computer. Type the commands that perform the action you want (for example, list a file or run a program) and press Enter.
Where it is used
It is widely used in software development, server management and automation processes.
Commonly confused with
It is the same as the concept of CLI (Command Line Interface); terminal control refers to the active usage process of this interface.
Frequently asked questions
