[[C++ nodiscard attributeAsks the compiler to warn when a result is discarded. An explicit cast to void acknowledges that the result is intentionally ignored.Language documentation]] expected<void, CommandFailure> load_buffer(std::string_view name, const std::filesystem::path& from) const;

Description#

The file is read and written by the tmux server, so the path is the server's to resolve — which matters when it is not on this machine. The bytes are not interpreted: a buffer round-tripped through a file comes back identical.

tmux command#

The tmux commands behind load_buffer.

tmux C API#

The C declarations in tmux that implement these commands.
