Read a native pane through the core capture request. By default each captured line is a separate string. Raw returns one string joined with LF, without inventing a trailing newline. History starts at the beginning of retained history; StartLine and EndLine select explicit bounds. ### Notes Capture is rendered terminal text, not a byte-exact output stream or proof that a shell command completed. History and StartLine are exclusive. [`PreserveTrailingSpaces`](/en/csharp/latest/reference/libtmux-capturepanerequest-preservetrailingspaces/) and [`TrimTrailingSpaces`](/en/csharp/latest/reference/libtmux-capturepanerequest-trimtrailingspaces/) cannot both be selected. Core capability checks govern flags on older tmux versions. ## Command details - **Command type:** [`cmdlet`](/en/powershell/latest/reference/glossary/#cmdlet) - **Default parameter set:** Range - **Positional binding:** Enabled. - **Pipeline inputs:** `LibTmux.Pane`: Native pipeline type for this command. - **Outputs:** `System.String` Related APIs: - [Task guide](https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-powershell/blob/b06c64f844f3173de66b187eaeaf3915814318c6/docs/capture.md) ## Examples Example 1 Capture the first pane on the existing server identified by $SocketPath.
