Terminal (also referred to as Terminal.app) is a terminal emulator included in Apple's Mac OS X operating system.[1] It originated in Mac OS X's predecessors, NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP, and allows the user to interact with the computer through a command line interface. It provides an environment for Unix shells, which, among other things, allow the OS X user to visually interact with the system core. Terminal features include tabs and customization of styles such as fonts and colors.
