LibTmux.Pane.DisplayMessageAsync(request: DisplayMessageRequest, cancellationToken: CancellationToken) -> Task<IReadOnlyList<string>?>
```

Shows a message on the client viewing this pane.

A message with no client to show it on is not a failure, so tmux's
complaint is logged rather than raised.

## Parameters

- `request` (DisplayMessageRequest) — The message to show.
- `cancellationToken` (CancellationToken) — Cancels the tmux command.

## Returns

The printed lines when the request asked for them, else null.
