[[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> source_file(const std::filesystem::path& file) const;

Description#

The server reads the file, so the path is the server's to resolve. A file it cannot read is reported rather than passed over. A control-backed Server rejects execution because the file can add an unknowable number of reply blocks; check_file() remains available there.

Parameters

tmux command#

The tmux commands behind source_file.

tmux C API#

The C declarations in tmux that implement these commands.

In other ports#
