Environment

The environment tmux gives to processes it starts, at one scope.

Source and package

class io.github.libtmux.Environment class readonly [source] ¶: Description#

tmux keeps one environment per server and one per session, and hands the result to every process it spawns afterwards. That is what this is for: a pane opened later sees what is set here, so it is how a program refreshes a value that goes stale in a long-lived session — SSH_AUTH_SOCK after reconnecting, a token, a display.
A scope is chosen when the view is obtained rather than passed to every call, as Options does, so a caller cannot read one scope and write another. There are only the two scopes, because tmux has only those two.
A name is in one of three states, and they are not the same question. It can be set to a value, which #get() answers. It can be removed, which is tmux's way of saying a new process should not inherit it even though the server's own environment has it — #isRemoved() answers that, and #get() is empty for it. Or it can simply be absent, which is both of those empty.
