DESCRIPTION

The az-term command is not a standard Linux utility or part of core distributions. It may refer to a custom script, alias, or extension related to Microsoft Azure CLI ('az') for terminal operations, such as launching an Azure-integrated terminal or managing Cloud Shell sessions. No official documentation exists in man pages or common repositories like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Arch Linux.

Users might encounter it in Azure DevOps environments, custom Docker images for Azure, or third-party tools mimicking Azure workflows. If installed via Azure CLI extensions or pip packages, it could provide terminal emulation for Azure resources. Verify with which az-term or command -v az-term. Without specific context, treat as non-standard; alternatives include az cloudshell proxy or standard terminals like gnome-terminal.

CAVEATS

Not found in standard Linux man pages or coreutils. Likely custom, deprecated, or environment-specific. Check Azure CLI extensions with az extension list. Potential confusion with 'az' CLI subcommands.

INSTALLATION CHECK

Run az extension search --name term or pip search az-term to locate packages.

ALTERNATIVES

Use az cloudshell open for Azure browser terminal or code --terminal in VS Code with Azure extension.

HISTORY

No official history; possibly emerged in Azure CLI 2.x extensions (~2018+) or user scripts. Not tracked in GNU coreutils or busybox.
