What is reptyr?

reptyr is a utility for taking an existing running program and attaching it to a new terminal, and is particularly useful for moving a long-running process into a GNU screen session.

reptyr does a more thorough job of transferring programs than many other tools, including the popular "screenify" shell script, because it changes the program's controlling terminal. This means that actions such as window resizes and interrupts are sent to the process from the new terminal.
