+.SH NAME
+mosh-client \- client-side helper for mosh
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+MOSH_KEY=KEY
+.B mosh-client
+IP PORT
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBmosh-client\fP is a helper program for the
+.BR mosh(1)
+remote terminal application.
+
+\fBmosh\fP itself is a setup script that establishes an SSH
+connection, runs the server-side helper \fBmosh-server\fP,
+and collects the server's port number and session key.
+
+\fBmosh\fP then executes \fBmosh-client\fP with the server's IP
+address, port, and session key. \fBmosh-client\fP runs for
+the lifetime of the connection.
+
+The 22-byte base64 session key given by \fBmosh-server\fP 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 \fBmosh-client\fP
+directly.

+mosh-server \- server-side helper for mosh
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B mosh-server
+[IP address to bind]
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBmosh-server\fP is a helper program for the
+.BR mosh(1)
+remote terminal application.
+
+\fBmosh-server\fP binds to a high UDP port and chooses an encryption
+key to protect the session. It prints both on standard output,
+detaches from the terminal, and waits for the \fBmosh-client\fP to
+establish a connection via UDP.
+
+\fBmosh-server\fP maintains an entry in the
+.BR utmp(5)
+file to indicate its process ID, whether the session is connected,
+and the client's current IP address.
+
+\fBmosh-server\fP exits when the client terminates the connection.

+.SH NAME
+mosh \- mobile shell with roaming and intelligent local echo
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B mosh
+.RI [ options ]
+[user@]host
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBmosh\fP (mobile shell) is a remote terminal application that
+supports intermittent connectivity, allows roaming, and provides
+speculative local echo and line editing of user keystrokes.
+
+Compared with \fBssh\fP, \fBmosh\fP is more robust \(em its
+connections stay up across sleeps and changes in the client's IP
+address \(em and more responsive, because the protocol is tolerant of
+packet loss and the client can echo most keystrokes immediately,
+without waiting for a network round-trip.
+
+\fBmosh\fP uses \fBssh\fP to establish a connection to the remote host
+and authenticate with existing means (e.g., public-key authentication
+or a password). \fBmosh\fP executes the unprivileged \fBmosh-server\fP
+helper program on the server, then closes the SSH connection and
+starts the \fBmosh-client\fP, which establishes a long-lived datagram
+connection over UDP.
+
+To improve responsiveness, \fBmosh\fP runs a predictive model of the
+server's behavior in the background, trying to guess the effect of
+each keystroke on the screen. It makes predictions for normal typing,
+backspace, and the left- and right-arrow keys. When it is confident,
+\fBmosh\fP displays the predictions without waiting for the
+server. The predictive model must prove itself anew on each row of the
+terminal and after each control character, so \fBmosh\fP avoids
+echoing passwords or non-echoing editor commands.
+
+By default, \fBmosh\fP shows its predictions only on high-latency
+connections and to smooth out network glitches. (On longer-latency
+links, the predicted cells are underlined until confirmed by the
+server.) Occasional echo mistakes are corrected within a network
+round-trip and do not cause lasting effect.
+
+\fBmosh\fP does not support X forwarding or the non-interactive uses
+of SSH, including port forwarding or sshfs. \fBmosh\fP works through
+typical client-side network address translators but requires high-port
+UDP to pass between client and server.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-\-client=\fIPATH\fP
+path to client helper on local machine (default: "mosh-client")
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-server=\fIPATH\fP
+path to server helper on remote machine (default: "mosh-server")
+
+The server helper is unprivileged and can be installed in the user's
+home directory.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-predict=\fIWHEN\fP
+Controls use of speculative local echo. WHEN defaults to `adaptive'
+(show predictions on slower links and to smooth out network glitches)
+and can also be `always` or `never'.
+
+The MOSH_PREDICTION_DISPLAY environment variable controls this setting
+permanently and can adopt the same three values.
+
+Even on `always', \fBmosh\fP will only show predictions when it is
+confident. This generally means a previous prediction on the same row
+of the terminal has been confirmed by the server, without any
+intervening control character keystrokes.
