```
val window_links : t -> Window_link.t Iarray.t
```

All captured links, in capture order, including repeated windows.

## Examples

Navigate the typed object graph. This complete program creates a private daemon, checks its result and closes its clients. Use OCaml 5.5.2 on Linux with tmux 3.3a through 3.8. Run it from the source checkout after following the installation guide.
