libtmux.control/terminal

Returns the single recorded stream outcome, or nil until a reader drains it.

Source and package
Qualified name
libtmux.control/terminal
Module
libtmux.control
Declared in
libtmux.control
Package
io.github.libtmux:libtmux-clojure
Source
libtmux-clojure/src/main/clojure/libtmux/control.clj

Public owner: libtmux.control

Description#

:reason is :closed, :completed, :control-exit, :transport-failure, :protocol-failure, or :unknown. A control exit does not prove daemon death; :cause preserves the original exception and may contain sensitive content. Text streams include :trailing-text keyed by pane ID for incomplete final bytes rendered as \xHH. next! records this outcome after buffered deliveries have drained.

Examples#

Read bounded UTF-8 output on an owned wait worker and inspect local termination. Use JDK 25 or newer, the Clojure CLI, Git and tmux on Linux or macOS, with /bin/cat and /bin/sh available. These packages are unpublished. In an empty directory, install this exact source into the consumer's isolated Maven repository:

Terminal window
$ git clone https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-java libtmux-source && \
git -C libtmux-source checkout --detach 5f88402151ff08fc0390dd438b90963692ec3fe4 && \
(cd libtmux-source && ./gradlew \

Save this file as deps.edn. Dependencies resolve from the isolated m2 directory; the core.async dependency is only enabled by its alias. View source

Run it with the private fixture. Set TMUX_BIN to select another tmux binary:

Terminal window
$ sh run.sh clojure \
-J-Dclojure.main.report=stderr \
-M \
-m libtmux.examples.api.watch-pane-output

Expected output on tmux 3.7 or newer:

observed=stream-ready
closed=true

On an older supported tmux, the program reports the control capability refusal:

requires tmux 3.7+
Parameters
  • stream (libtmux.control.OutputStream) #
