commands be sent and output received on stdout. This can be used to
integrate with other terminal emulators and should allow some other
things to be made simpler later. More to come so doesn't do much yet and
deliberately not documented.
Instead of passing stdin/stdout/stderr file descriptors over imsg and
handling them in the server, handle them in the client and pass buffers
over imsg. This is much tidier for some upcoming changes and the
performance hit isn't critical.
The tty fd is still passed to the server as before.
This bumps the tmux protocol version so new clients and old servers are
incompatible.

Use a lock file and flock() to serialize server start, avoids problems
when running a bunch of tmux from cron at the same time. Based on a diff
from Tim Ruehsen.
Move all calls to fcntl(...O_NONBLOCK) into a function and clear the
flag on the stdio file descriptors before closing them (fixes things
like "tmux ls && cat").
Send all three of stdin, stdout, stderr from the client to the server, so that
commands can directly make use of them. This means that load-buffer and
save-buffer can have "-" as the file to read from stdin or write to stdout.
This is a protocol version bump so the tmux server will need to be restarted
after upgrade (or an older client used).

Fix problems with window sizing seen by Raghavendra D Prabhu when
starting tmux from .xinitrc.
One of the very few things the server relies on the client for now is to
pass through a message on SIGWINCH, but there is a condition where
potentially a SIGWINCH may be lost during the transition from unattached
(main.c) to attached (client.c). So trigger a size change immediately
after the client installs its SIGWINCH handler.
Also, when the terminal is resized, reset the scroll region and cursor
position. Previously, we were clearing our saved idea of these, but in
fact some terminals do not reset them on resize, so this caused problems
during redraw.
While here make a resize to the same size not cause a redraw and rename
the tmux.out output log file to include the tmux PID.

Catch SIGHUP and terminate if running as a client. This prevents clients
from being left hanging around when, for example, a SSH session is
disconnected.
ok nicm@
Make signal handler setup/teardown two common functions instead of six,
and reset SIGCHLD after fork to fix problems with some shells. From
Romain Francoise.
Massive spaces->tabs and trailing whitespace cleanup, hopefully for the last
time now I've configured emacs to make them displayed in really annoying
colours...
Initial changes to move tmux to libevent.
This moves the client-side loops are pretty much fully over to event-based only
(tmux.c and client.c) but server-side (server.c and friends) treats libevent as
a sort of clever poll, waking up after every event to run various things.
Moving the server stuff over to bufferevents and timers and so on will come
later.

Do this in a better way - print messages when exiting with nonzero.
Also remove the login shell information from server-info, only the client
should care about it.
Support -c like sh(1) to execute a command, useful when tmux is a login
shell. Suggested by halex@.
This includes another protocol version increase (the last for now) so again
restart the tmux server before upgrading.
Remove the internal tmux locking and instead detach each client and run the
command specified by a new option "lock-command" (by default "lock -np") in
each client.
This means each terminal has to be unlocked individually but simplifies the
code and allows the system password to be used to unlock.
Note that the set-password command is gone, so it will need to be removed from
configuration files, and the -U command line flag has been removed.
This is the third protocol version change so again it is best to stop the tmux
server before upgrading.
Trim some code by moving the ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ) after SIGWINCH from the client
into the server.
This is another (the second of four) protocol version changes coming this
morning, so again the server should be killed before upgrading.
Don't attempt to open() the tty path, rely on the client sending its stdin fd
with imsg and fatal if it doesn't, then set the FD_CLOEXEC flag in tty_init
instead of tty_open to prevent them leaking into child processes if any are
created between the two calls.
This bumps the protocol version, so the tmux server should be killed before

Fix a race condition when asking a client to take over the terminal (switching
to a different poll loop):
If a MSG_READY was followed very quickly by a MSG_EXIT (for example if doing
"tmux new 'exit'"), both messages could be read as part of the same imsg_read
in the first client poll loop. The MSG_READY would then cause a switch to the
second client loop, which would immediately call poll(2) again, causing the
client to hang forever waiting for an exit message that it already had.
Change to call imsg_get to process any existing messages before polling.

use the error and exit on MSG_EXIT (it was being handled in the default
case). Undo the last change, move the errstr check into the MSG_EXIT case, and
add a comment.

imsg closes the fd after sending, so dup() STDIN_FILENO before passing it to
the parent, otherwise TIOCGWINSZ will fail when the window is resized (that
could actually be moved into the server but this is more future-proof and
avoids breaking the protocol).
Have the client pass its stdin fd to the server when identifying itself and
have the server use that rather than reopening the tty. If the fd isn't given,
use the old behaviour (so no need for a version change).
This allows tmux to be used as the shell, so also change so that when working
out the command to execute if default-command is empty (the default), tmux will
try not execute itself.
Switch tmux to use imsg. This is the last major change to make the
client-server protocol more resilient and make the protocol versioning work
properly. In future, the only things requiring a protocol version bump will be
changes in the message structs, and (when both client and server have this
change) mixing different versions should nicely report an error message.
As a side effect this also makes the code tidier, fixes a problem with the way
errors reported during server startup were handled, and supports fd passing
(which will be used in future).
Looked over by eric@, thanks.
Please note that mixing a client with this change with an older server or vice
versa may cause tmux to crash or hang - tmux should be completely exited before
upgrading.

Infrastructure and commands to manage the environment for processes started
within tmux.
There is a global environment, copied from the external environment when the
server is started and each session has an (initially empty) session
environment which overrides it.
New commands set-environment and show-environment manipulate or display the
environments.
A new session option, update-environment, is a space-separated list of
variables which are updated from the external environment into the session
environment every time a new session is created - the default is DISPLAY.

There aren't many client message types or code to handle them so get rid of
the lookup table and use a switch, merge the tiny handler functions into it,
and move the whole lot to client.c.
Also change client_msg_dispatch to consume as many messages as possible and
move the call to it to the right place so it checks for signals afterwards.
Prompted by suggestions from eric@.
