```
tmux.Server.IsAlive(ctx: context.Context) -> (bool, error)
```

IsAlive reports whether a tmux server answers on the configured socket. Only an absent server reports false without an error: a socket that exists but cannot be reached, such as one the process may not read, is a question that could not be answered and is returned as an error.
