```
(unlink-window client link &key kill-if-last cancel-token timeout output-limit)
```

Remove the captured LINK and return a COMMAND-OUTCOME without a value.
Tmux refuses the last reference unless KILL-IF-LAST is explicit; group membership
affects that check. Removing a last link can destroy its window and session.
Signals STALE-TARGET or an operational condition. Does not refresh a deleted link.

## Parameters

- `client`
- `link`
- `kill-if-last?`
- `cancel-token?`
- `timeout?`
- `output-limit?`
