3 tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created,
4 accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a
5 screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.
7 This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, macOS and Solaris.
11 tmux depends on libevent 2.x, available from:
13 https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/latest
15 It also depends on ncurses, available from:
17 https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/ncurses/
19 To build tmux, a C compiler (for example gcc or clang), make, pkg-config and a
20 suitable yacc (yacc or bison) are needed.
