The terminal
class provides support for starting
a terminal session.
The
OE_TERMINAL
variable controls which terminal emulator is used for the session.
Other classes use the terminal
class anywhere a
separate terminal session needs to be started.
For example, the
patch
class assuming
PATCHRESOLVE
is set to "user", the
cml1
class, and the
devshell
class all use the terminal
class.
