Server.SaveBuffer

SaveBuffer writes a named or most-recent buffer to a file. Path follows Server.SourceFile's current-user expansion and lexical normalization. It changes that file. Exact "-" is rejected because it names tmux's stdout rather than a path; Server.SaveBufferTo streams to an io.Writer, and this method is the one that runs over a Connection.

Description#

A file this call creates has mode 0600, whatever the umask: the buffer may hold a pane's screen or other secrets. A file that already exists keeps its mode and is truncated, or appended to when request.Append is set. A relative Path is made, and written by tmux, in the working directory this Server was built in. If the save fails, the file this call created is removed, except when ctx ended first, because cancellation does not prove tmux did not write it.

tmux command#

The tmux commands behind SaveBuffer.

tmux C API#
