TMUX - AskApache

TMUX == GNU Screen x 2.. here is a screenshot from my Arch Linux ThinkPenguin.com laptop back in 2014. That bg image, taken from the International Space Station is now one of my favorite grub boot bg images.

tmux usage

Note: This is primarily an article of my notes taken from reading the tmux source code. I'll add some good practical usage another time perhaps.

usage: %s [-2lquvV] [-c shell-command] [-f file] [-L socket-name] [-S socket-path] [command [flags]]

tmux.conf

Per my usual habit, I downloaded the tmux source code and poured over it for weeks. The purpose of that wasn't abstract, I work to find and build systems that once built will enable and empower my computing for a long time. In this case, for me that meant building a super optimized and understood tmux.conf -- here is the one I am using at the moment. tmux.conf

Populate Server Options options_table_populate_tree(server_options_table, &global_options)

Pass control to the client

colour.c

Colour to string conversion functions. Bit 8 of the colour means it is one of the 256 colour palette.

/* An RGB colour. */

Generate 256 colour RGB table.

Get colour RGB distance.

Work out the nearest colour from the 256 colour set.
