+The wezterm module is the primary module that exposes wezterm configuration
+and control to your config file.
+
+You will typically place:
+
+```lua
+local wezterm = require 'wezterm';
+```
+
+at the top of your configuration file to enable it.

+# `Pane` object
+
+A Pane object cannot be created in lua code; it is typically passed to your
+code via an event callback.  A Pane object is a handle to a live instance of a
+Pane that is known to the wezterm process.  A Pane object tracks the psuedo
+terminal (or real serial terminal) and associated process(es) and the parsed
+screen and scrollback.
+
+A Pane object can be used to send input to the associated processes and
+introspect the state of the terminal emulation for that pane.
