Name        : dtach
Product     : Fedora 18
Version     : 0.8
Release     : 8.fc18
URL         : http://dtach.sourceforge.net
Summary     : A simple program that emulates the detach feature of screen
Description :

dtach is a program that emulates the detach feature of screen, with
less overhead.  It is designed to be transparent and un-intrusive; it
avoids interpreting the input and output between attached terminals
and the program under its control. Consequently, it works best with
full-screen applications such as emacs.
