How to Attach Screen Sessions that were Split

I am working with screen and I am having a hard time with reattaching sessions where I split the screen within one session. Is this even possible?



I have tried searching for it on here and google but there doesn't seem to be any posting on this type of use-case.
here are some resources I was using:



  • http://aperiodic.net/screen/quick_reference

  • https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-use-linux-screen/

  • Attach multiple times to a single screen session

  • https://kb.iu.edu/d/ahrm

My scenario is this, when I create multiple splits within a single session, for example I run the following commands to create a session and split the screens:



screen -S multiplesplitexample


ctrl+a |



ctrl+a tab



ctrl+a c



Once I get the environment setup the way I want I then detach it by running:



ctrl+a d



now I can see my session when I run screen -ls:



root@kali:~# screen -ls
There is a screen on:
6398.multiplesplitexample (02/09/2019 11:46:17 AM) (Detached)
1 Socket in /run/screen/S-root.


No matter what I run i.e. screen -r multiplesplitexample, screen -dRR, etc. it reattaches the screen session with only one of the screen terminals that was originally two split screen terminals within one screen.



I am able to see the two screen terminals by running



ctrl + a "
