+# CLIENT OPTIONS
+ttyd has a mechanism to pass server side command-line arguments to the browser page which is called **client options**:
+
+```bash
+-t, --client-option Send option to client (format: key=value), repeat to add more options
+```
+
+## Basic usage
+
+- `-t rendererType=canvas`: use the `canvas` renderer for xterm.js (default: `webgl`)
+- `-t disableLeaveAlert=true`: disable the leave page alert
+- `-t disableResizeOverlay=true`: disable the terminal resize overlay
+- `-t disableReconnect=true`: prevent the terminal from reconnecting on connection error/close
+- `-t enableZmodem=true`: enable [ZMODEM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZMODEM) / [lrzsz](https://ohse.de/uwe/software/lrzsz.html) file transfer support
+- `-t enableTrzsz=true`: enable [trzsz](https://trzsz.github.io) file transfer support
+- `-t enableSixel=true`: enable [Sixel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel) image output support ([Usage](https://saitoha.github.io/libsixel/))
+- `-t titleFixed=hello`: set a fixed title for the browser window
+- `-t fontSize=20`: change the font size of the terminal
+
+## Advanced usage
+
+You can use the client option to change all the settings of xterm defined in [ITerminalOptions](https://xtermjs.org/docs/api/terminal/interfaces/iterminaloptions/), examples:
+
+- `-t cursorStyle=bar`: set cursor style to `bar`
+- `-t lineHeight=1.5`: set line-height to `1.5`
+- `-t 'theme={"background": "green"}'`: set background color to `green`
+
+to try the example options above, run:
+
+```bash
+ttyd -t cursorStyle=bar -t lineHeight=1.5 -t 'theme={"background": "green"}' bash
+```
+
+# EXAMPLES
+ ttyd starts web server at port 7681 by default, you can use the -p option to change it, the command will be started with arguments as options. For example, run:
+
+```
+ttyd -p 8080 bash -x
+```
+
+ Then open http://localhost:8080 with a browser, you will get a bash shell with debug mode enabled. More examples:
+
+ - If you want to login with your system accounts on the web browser, run `ttyd login`.
+ - You can even run a none shell command like vim, try: `ttyd vim`, the web browser will show you a vim editor.
+ - Sharing single process with multiple clients: `ttyd tmux new -A -s ttyd vim`, run `tmux new -A -s ttyd` to connect to the tmux session from terminal.
+
+# SSL how-to
+ Generate SSL CA and self signed server/client certificates:
+
+```
+# CA certificate (FQDN must be different from server/client)
+openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048
+openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -subj "/C=CN/ST=GD/L=SZ/O=Acme, Inc./CN=Acme Root CA" -out ca.crt

+# server certificate (for multiple domains, change subjectAltName to: DNS:example.com,DNS:www.example.com)
+openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -subj "/C=CN/ST=GD/L=SZ/O=Acme, Inc./CN=localhost" -out server.csr
+openssl x509 -sha256 -req -extfile <(printf "subjectAltName=DNS:localhost") -days 365 -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out server.crt

+openssl pkcs12 -export -clcerts -in client.crt -inkey client.key -out client.p12
+openssl pkcs12 -in client.p12 -out client.pem -clcerts
+```
+
+ Then start ttyd:
+
+```
+ttyd --ssl --ssl-cert server.crt --ssl-key server.key --ssl-ca ca.crt bash
+```
+
+ You may want to test the client certificate verification with *curl*(1):
+
+```
+curl --insecure --cert client.p12[:password] -v https://localhost:7681
+```
+
+ If you don't want to enable client certificate verification, remove the `--ssl-ca` option.
+
+# Docker and ttyd
+ Docker containers are jailed environments which are more secure, this is useful for protecting the host system, you may use ttyd with docker like this:
+
+ - Sharing single docker container with multiple clients: docker run -it --rm -p 7681:7681 tsl0922/ttyd.
+ - Creating new docker container for each client: ttyd docker run -it --rm ubuntu.
+
+# Nginx reverse proxy
+
+Sample config to proxy ttyd under the `/ttyd` path:
+
+```nginx
+location ~ ^/ttyd(.*)$ {
+ proxy_http_version 1.1;
+ proxy_set_header Host $host;
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
