Screen is a terminal multiplexor that runs several separate processes, typically interactive shells, on a single physical character-based terminal. Each virtual terminal emulates a DEC VT100 plus several ANSI X3.64 and ISO 2022 functions and also provides configurable input and output translation, serial port support, configurable logging, multi-user support, and many character encodings, including UTF-8. Screen sessions can be detached and resumed later on a different terminal.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.0 platform.

          --with-socket-dir=/run/screen: This
          option places the per-user sockets in a standard location.
        
          --with-sys-screenrc=/etc/screenrc:
          This option places the global screenrc file in /etc.
        
          --with-pty-group=5: This
          option sets the gid to the value used by LFS.
        
sed -i -e "s%/usr/local/etc/screenrc%/etc/screenrc%" {etc,doc}/*: This command corrects the configuration and documentation files to the location that is used here for the global screenrc file.
