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.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

              server(1).
