-tmux consists of a server part and multiple clients. The server is created

-single server and attached to a number of clients. Each session may then

-Commands are available to create, rename and destroy windows and sessions; to
-attach and detach sessions from client terminals; to set configuration options;
-and to bind and unbind command keys (invoked preceded by a prefix key, by
-default ctrl-b). Please see the tmux(1) man page for further information.

 tmux also depends on several features of the client terminal (TERM), if these
-are missing it may refuse to run, or not behave correctly. It is possible to
-emulate some of these but tmux does not do this at present. Known working are
-TERM=screen (tmux in screen), xterm, xterm-color and rxvt. Note that tmux
-(and screen) relies on an AX term capability to detect if the terminal
-supports "default" (transparent) foreground and background colours. On OpenBSD,
-TERM=xterm and TERM=xterm-color lack this; TERM=rxvt does have it and works fine

 For debugging, running tmux with -v or -vv will generate server and client log
 files in the current directory.
