function [source] ¶

Examples#

Compare native sequence filtering with portable F# filters. Capture the hierarchy before following pane and window relations; listing alone does not capture children. Use Linux or macOS with Git, tmux 3.2a or newer, .NET SDK 10.0.303, and the .NET 8 and 10 runtimes. In an empty directory, fetch the documented library revision:

$ git clone https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-dotnet.git libtmux-source && \
  git -C libtmux-source checkout --detach cf34b255c896d19a97e7d7fabea58609c916012d

Save this complete program as Program.fs. It creates a private server with LibTmux.Server.CreateOwnedAsync; use! disposes owned scopes after success, cancellation or failure. The F# facade has no separate server constructor. View source

Build the exact source packages and the saved consumer, then run both supported frameworks. The local package feed prevents an unrelated published package from satisfying the restore. Each program checks its result and exits unsuccessfully after an unhandled error:

$ export NUGET_PACKAGES="$PWD/packages" && \
  dotnet restore libtmux-source/src/LibTmux.FSharp/LibTmux.FSharp.fsproj --locked-mode && \
  dotnet pack libtmux-source/src/LibTmux/LibTmux.csproj \
    --configuration Release --no-restore -p:ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true \
    --output "$PWD/libtmux-source/artifacts/api-example-packages" && \
  dotnet pack libtmux-source/src/LibTmux.FSharp/LibTmux.FSharp.fsproj \
    --configuration Release --no-restore -p:ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true \
    --output "$PWD/libtmux-source/artifacts/api-example-packages" && \
  dotnet restore Example.fsproj --configfile NuGet.config && \

Expected program output from each framework:

native: ["demo"]
portable: ["demo"]
windows: ["shell"]
panes: 1
parents: ["demo"]
control clients: 1
