GetPanesAsync ( cancellationToken : CancellationToken ) → Task<IReadOnlyList<Pane>>
method [source]

Description#

A handle that has not found a live server yet discovers one first.

Examples#

Read scalar listings from two detached sessions on a private server. Fresh rows do not imply captured child relations. Use Linux or macOS with Git, tmux 3.2a or newer, .NET SDK 10.0.303, and the .NET 8 and 10 runtimes. In an empty directory, fetch the documented library revision:

Terminal window
$ git clone https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-dotnet.git libtmux-source && \
git -C libtmux-source checkout --detach cf34b255c896d19a97e7d7fabea58609c916012d

Save this complete program as Program.cs. It creates a private server; await using disposes its owned scopes after success, cancellation or failure. The complete file contains explicit imports, a top-level async entry point and a cancellation deadline. View source

Build the exact source package and the saved consumer, then run both supported frameworks. The local package feed prevents an unrelated published package from satisfying the restore. Each program checks its result and exits unsuccessfully after an unhandled error:

Terminal window
$ export NUGET_PACKAGES="$PWD/packages" && \
dotnet restore libtmux-source/src/LibTmux/LibTmux.csproj --locked-mode && \
dotnet pack libtmux-source/src/LibTmux/LibTmux.csproj \
--configuration Release --no-restore -p:ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true \
--output "$PWD/libtmux-source/artifacts/api-example-packages" && \
dotnet restore Example.csproj --configfile NuGet.config && \
dotnet build Example.csproj --configuration Release --no-restore --warnaserror && \
export LIBTMUX_TMUX="$(command -v tmux)" && \
export TMUX_TMPDIR=/tmp/libtmux-dotnet-dev && \
mkdir -p "$TMUX_TMPDIR" && \
unset TMUX TMUX_PANE && \
dotnet bin/Release/net8.0/Example.dll && \
dotnet bin/Release/net10.0/Example.dll

Expected program output from each framework:

Session: demo ($0)
Session: worker ($1)
Windows: 2; panes: 2; clients: 0
Parameters
Returns

The panes reported by a successful read.
