Terminal emulator
A terminal emulator, terminal application, or term, is a computer program that emulates a video terminal within some other display architecture.
The terminal covers all remote terminals, including graphical interfaces. A terminal emulator inside a graphical user interface is often called a terminal window.
A terminal window allows the user access to a text terminal and all its command-line interfaces (CLI).
