```
Disconnect-TmuxControl
    [-Connection] <LibTmux.IControlModeSession>
    [-WhatIf]
    [-Confirm]
    [<CommonParameters>]
```

Dispose an explicitly supplied tmux control client.

Dispose the native control client and await its cleanup. The tmux daemon,
sessions and panes remain running. This is an explicit ownership action:
other callers using the same connection lose that client.

The operation emits no success object. An empty pipeline performs no work.
[`WhatIf`](/en/powershell/latest/reference/libtmux-disconnect-tmuxcontrol/#LibTmux%5CDisconnect-TmuxControl.parameter.WhatIf) leaves the connection usable.

### Notes

[`Tmux.ControlDisconnectFailed`](https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-powershell/blob/b06c64f844f3173de66b187eaeaf3915814318c6/docs/reference/LibTmux/Disconnect-TmuxControl.md#notes) retains the native failure and connection
target. The native disposal API has no cancellation token; cleanup is awaited
rather than abandoned when a pipeline stops.

## Command details

- **Command type:** [`cmdlet`](/en/powershell/latest/reference/glossary/#cmdlet)
- **Confirmation:** Supports `-WhatIf` and `-Confirm`; confirm impact: Medium.
- **Positional binding:** Enabled.
- **Pipeline inputs:** `LibTmux.IControlModeSession`: The client the caller explicitly chooses to close.

## Examples

Example 1
