* I'm pretty busy these days and tmux is way down my list of priorities, so
don't expect a lot of progress soon. Contributions welcome!

Command prefix is C-b. This can be changed by building with, for example:
META=\\001 make
Commands: d detach
c create new terminal
n next terminal
p previous terminal
r refresh screen
t set window name
0-9 select window
There is one default server process per user which puts its socket in
/tmp/tmux-UID. It is created the first time tmux is run and subsequent
invocations will connect to the same server. The server holds multiple
sessions.
Syntax is: tmux [-v] [-n name] [-s path] command
The command is either list, new or attach. Create a new session with:
tmux new
Optionally giving it a name with:
tmux -n <session name> new
Attach to a previous session with:
tmux -n <session name> attach
A name must (currently) be specified when attaching. This may change.
List all sessions with:
tmux list
Or the windows of a single session with:
tmux -n <session name> list
Sessions are destroyed when no windows remain attached to them.
Another server process can be used by specifying an alternative socket path
with "-s <path>" but it shouldn't normally be required.
You can set the window title (listed in -l), using the \e] escape sequence. For
example:
$ echo -n \\033]0;My Title\\007
There is currently no method for setting the window name (what will eventually
be shown in the status bar).
You might get message "couldn't find server" after a crash, in this case you
must remove the /tmp/tmux-`id -u` file manually.
