val move_pane :
  ?size:Libtmux.Geometry.size ->
  t ->
  Libtmux.Pane.target ->
  beside:Libtmux.Pane.target ->
  direction:Libtmux.Geometry.direction -> (unit, Libtmux.Error.t) result
```

Move the source pane beside another pane, optionally setting the split size. Both targets must belong to the same bound generation. An emptied source window is removed by tmux.

## Parameters

- `size?` (`Libtmux.Geometry.size`)
- `arg1` (`t`)
- `arg2` (`Libtmux.Pane.target`)
- `beside` (`Libtmux.Pane.target`)
- `direction` (`Libtmux.Geometry.direction`)

## tmux command

The tmux commands behind `move_pane`.

## tmux C API

The C declarations in tmux that implement these commands.
