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 applica-
     tion.

     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 ses-
     sion 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 pro-
     tects 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 crypto-
	    graphic key from mosh-server(1).

     MOSH_ESCAPE_KEY
	    See mosh(1).

     MOSH_PREDICTION_DISPLAY
	    Controls local echo as described in mosh(1).

     MOSH_PREDICTION_OVERWRITE
