- Capture ( ctx : context.Context , request : CapturePaneRequest ) ([]string, error)
-
Capture captures printed content from the receiver's exact linked pane. It returns a caller-owned slice. A completed nonzero exit or stderr does not become a
CommandError; any stdout is returned without an error.This is a point-in-time capture rather than a stream; the zero request reads the visible screen. It may include a shell's echo of
Pane.SendKeysinput. Compare whole lines when polling; useControlClient.NextNotificationorServer.WaitForwhen the application exposes a stream or explicit signal.Invalid positions fail before execution. Transport and context failures return any partial stdout with the error.
