== Shells and terminal emulation ==
 
 
Within Emacs you can interact with various shells and other command-line/text-mode programs running as a sub-process within an Emacs terminal emulator:
 
* [[ ansi-term ]]
 
* [[ shell ]]
 
* [[ term ]]
 
* [[ multi-term ]]
 
 
[[ eshell ]] is a shell (not a terminal emulator, nor a process hosted in one) written in pure [[ Emacs Lisp ]]. It is very powerful, flexible and customizable, but poorly documented at time of writing.
 
 
Emacs itself is fully functional either in a terminal or a windowing system. Some keystrokes available under window systems may not work in a terminal and vice versa.
