NAME

6       mosh-client - client-side helper for mosh

SYNOPSIS

9       MOSH_KEY=KEY mosh-client [-v] IP PORT
10       mosh-client -c

DESCRIPTION

13       mosh-client  is a helper program for the mosh(1) remote terminal appli‐
14       cation.
15
16       mosh itself is a setup script that establishes an SSH connection,  runs
17       the server-side helper mosh-server, and collects the server's port num‐
18       ber and session key.
19
20       mosh then executes mosh-client with the server's IP address, port,  and
21       session key. mosh-client runs for the lifetime of the connection.
22
23       The  22-byte base64 session key given by mosh-server is supplied in the
24       MOSH_KEY environment variable. This represents a 128-bit AES  key  that
25       protects the integrity and confidentiality of the session.
26
27       For  constructing  new  setup  wrappers for remote execution facilities
28       other than SSH, it may be necessary to invoke mosh-client directly.
29
30       With the -c option, mosh-client instead prints the number of colors  of
31       the terminal given by the TERM environment variable.
32
33       The  -v option will print some debugging information on standard error.
34       More instances of this flag will result in more debugging  information.
35       If standard error is not redirected from the terminal, the display will
36       be corrupted and quickly become unusable.
