libtmux::Connection::mute_pane_output(pane: std::string_view, deadline: std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point) -> expected< void, ProtocolError >
```

Named forms of set_pane_output; the same connection policy applies.

Muting is not this connection's private business on tmux 3.7+: tmux stops reading the pane's pty, so the pane freezes for every attached client and tool until it is resumed. `set_pane_output` has the version-by-version detail; this is the part worth knowing before reaching for the name.
