Accessing the man page


For obvious reasons, we usually do not like to suggest going to the man page in this text as we try to explain most things in far greater detail than they do. However, when it comes to referring to an exhaustive list of options that can be configured in the .tmux.conf file, nothing really beats the man page.

To access, you can type the following command:

man tmux

Tip

You can also access the man page on the Web at one of many resources that mirror the man pages online. The following is an example:

http://man.cx/tmux

If you scroll down about halfway, there is a heading called Options. This contains the full list of options that could be set in our configuration file and a description of each one. Now that we understand how a bunch of them work, it should be much more manageable to view this man page and tinker with things!
