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.
