Equivalents of Read one pane option in other languages
Language	Equivalent
Python	`libtmux.Pane.show_option`
Lua	`libtmux.Pane:get_option`
Haskell	No public Haskell equivalent is implemented; the current modules expose scalar values and version parsing.
TypeScript	no single-option read; `Pane.showOptions` returns them all
Rust	`pane.Pane.typed_option`
Go	`tmux.Pane.RawOption`
Java	reached through `Pane.options`, whose `Options.get` reads one
C#	reached through `Pane.Options`, whose `TmuxOptions.GetAsync` reads one
Swift	`Server.option(_:scope:)`
OCaml	`Libtmux_unix.Client.read_option` Pass the corresponding explicit Options scope; captured tables preserve their source and inheritance policy.
Perl	`LibTmux::Server::get_option` Pass scope => 'pane' and the explicit target ID where applicable; inherited and global reads are deliberate options.

No equivalent is recorded in Ruby, PowerShell, Julia, Erlang, Elixir, Common Lisp, Clojure, Kotlin, Scala or F#.
