MOSH(1)			    General Commands Manual		       MOSH(1)

NAME
       mosh-client - client-side helper	for mosh

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

DESCRIPTION
       mosh-client  is a helper	program	for the	mosh(1)	remote terminal	appli-
       cation.

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

       The -v option will print	some debugging information on standard	error.
       More  instances of this flag will result	in more	debugging information.
       If standard error is not	redirected from	the terminal, the display will
       be corrupted and	quickly	become unusable.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       MOSH_KEY
	      This variable must be set, and  must  contain  a	Base64-encoded
	      cryptographic key	from mosh-server(1).

       MOSH_ESCAPE_KEY
	      See mosh(1).

       MOSH_PREDICTION_DISPLAY
