It is designed to be +transparent and un-intrusive; it avoids interpreting the input and +output between attached terminals and the program under its control. + +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. |
