Line 3: [[File:Xterm.png\|thumb\|300px\|[[xterm]], a terminal emulator designed for the [[X Window System]]]] [[File:Windows Terminal v1.0 1138x624.png\|thumb\|300px\|[[Windows Terminal]], an open-source terminal emulator for [[Windows 10]] and [[Windows 11]]]] [[A]] '''terminal emulator''', or '''terminal application''', is a [[Application software\|computer program]] that [[Emulator\|emulates]] a video [[Computer terminal#Dumb terminals\|terminal]] within some other display architecture. Though typically synonymous with a [[Command-line interface\|shell]] or [[text terminal]], the term ''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 applications such as [[command-line interface]]s (CLI) and [[text user interface]] (TUI) applications. These may be running either on the same machine or on a different one via [[telnet]], [[Secure Shell\|ssh]], [[dial-up]], or over a direct [[serial port\|serial connection]]. On [[Unix-like]] operating systems, it is common to have one or more terminal windows connected to the local machine.
