Welcome to tmux!

tmux is a "terminal multiplexer", it enables a number of terminals (or windows)
to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is intended to be a
simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen.

This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux and OS X and may still
run on Solaris and AIX (although they haven't been tested in a while).

Since the 1.2 release tmux depends on libevent. Download it from:

http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/

To build tmux from a release tarball, do:

$ ./configure && make
$ sudo make install

To get and build the latest from version control:

$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/tmux/tmux-code tmux
$ cd tmux
$ sh autogen.sh
$ ./configure && make

For more information see https://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=git&group_id=200378
and http://git-scm.com. Patches should be sent by email to the mailing list at
[email protected].

For documentation on using tmux, see the tmux.1 manpage. It can be viewed from
the source tree with:

$ nroff -mdoc tmux.1|less

Some common questions are answered in the FAQ file and a more extensive (but
slightly out of date) guide is available in the OpenBSD FAQ at
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#tmux. A rough todo list is in the TODO
file and some example configurations and a Vim syntax file are in the examples
directory.

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

tmux mailing lists are available. Visit:
