Server.OpenControl

OpenControl starts a control-mode client attached to session. The startup context bounds process start, attach framing, and client registration but does not own the returned client's lifetime. Session must belong to the same configured server selector. Acquisition requires tmux 3.7 and a filesystem that can hard-link the selected Unix socket into a private directory.

Server

Server is an immutable handle to one tmux configuration. Its zero value is invalid. Copying a configured Server preserves its configuration and shares its mutex-guarded version cache and checked daemon identity, so a Server and the values derived from it are safe for concurrent method calls (see the package documentation).

ControlClient

ControlClient is one attached tmux control-mode process. Create one with Server.OpenControl. Concurrent Cmd, Wait, close, and NextNotification calls are supported; concurrent notification reads are serialized.
