- **Source:** https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-perl/blob/352715a4fa66a96eed7763b90daaa536aa2f121d/packages/core/lib/LibTmux/Server.pm#L854

```
sub operation($self, $name, %args)
```

`operation($name, %arguments)` validates and copies arguments, returning one [`LibTmux::Operation`](/en/perl/latest/reference/libtmux-operation/) without I/O. The optional Future facade shares this preparation and parsing boundary. Use the named methods above for synchronous execution. Invalid arguments or criteria throw [`"InvalidArgument" in LibTmux::X`](/en/perl/latest/reference/libtmux-x-invalidargument/) or [`"InvalidFilter" in LibTmux::X`](/en/perl/latest/reference/libtmux-x-invalidfilter/) before submission.

```perl
    my $operation = $server->operation('snapshot');
```
