Unsupported
Feature – if the spec asks for something this server does not have forException split(configure);split(spec) -
Target
Gone – if a command with noException SplitSpec.Builder#keepOnExit()exits before the pane it ran in can be read back — seeSplitSpec.Builder#running(). tmux still made the pane and ran the command; only this confirming read lost the race. forsplit(configure);split(spec)

tmux command#
The tmux commands behind split.
tmux C API#
The C declarations in tmux that implement these commands.
Each path starts at a function a command runs, which is degree 1. The degree counts steps from there along the path, and each step is a call or a reference: degree 2 is reached from that function, degree 3 from the next, and so on.
