Connection

One held-open control client.

Source and package

class libtmux::Connection class [source] ¶: Description#

Shared freely between threads. execute(), take_notifications(), wait_for_notifications(), watch_notifications(), set_pane_output() and the muting pair may all be called at once: writes are serialized, and each reply is matched to its own request through a private boundary, which is what lets concurrent callers tell their blocks apart even though tmux puts no request id on a guard.
Moving from a connection, or destroying one, may not race with any of those — the same rule CommandRuntime states for itself.
It remains one FIFO client, so a command that waits on the server also delays whatever another thread asked for next. That is why Server::run() stays the surface for a command whose final result matters.

events method Everything tmux says until the deadline, as one loop rather than two.
execute method Completes at this request's private protocol boundary and preserves every guarded block before it.
mute_pane_output method Named forms of set_pane_output; the same connection policy applies.
native_child_pid method
notification_fd method A descriptor that is readable exactly when a take would return something.
resume_pane_output method
set_pane_output method Stop or resume output for one pane, on a connection that asked for it.
