NAME

       mosh-client - client-side helper for mosh

SYNOPSIS

       MOSH_KEY=KEY mosh-client IP PORT
       mosh-client -c

DESCRIPTION

       mosh-client is a helper program for the mosh(1) remote terminal application.

       mosh  itself  is  a  setup script that establishes an SSH connection, runs the server-side
       helper mosh-server, and collects the server's port number and session key.

       mosh then executes mosh-client with the server's IP address, port, and session key.  mosh-
       client runs for the lifetime of the connection.

       The  22-byte  base64  session  key  given  by  mosh-server  is  supplied  in  the MOSH_KEY
       environment variable. This represents a 128-bit AES key that protects  the  integrity  and
       confidentiality of the session.

       For constructing new setup wrappers for remote execution facilities other than SSH, it may
       be necessary to invoke mosh-client directly.

       With the -c option, mosh-client instead prints the number of colors of the terminal  given
       by the TERM environment variable.
