```
LibTmux.Server.CreateOwnedAsync(options: ServerConnectionOptions?, cancellationToken: CancellationToken) -> Task<OwnedServerScope>
```

Starts a server and takes ownership of it.

The scope holds an endpoint rather than a materialized server, because
a tmux server with no sessions exits at once. <see cref="OwnedServerScope.Value" />
stays that endpoint after a session is created through it; its session,
window, and pane listings and <see cref="CaptureSnapshotAsync" />
discover the live server on each call, and the objects they return
carry the discovered handle.

## Parameters

- `options` (ServerConnectionOptions?): Connection options.
- `cancellationToken` (CancellationToken): Cancels the tmux commands.

## Returns

A scope that stops the server when disposed.
