Module: io.github.libtmux.control.ControlClient
Declared in: ControlClient
Package: io.github.libtmux:libtmux
Source: libtmux/src/main/java/io/github/libtmux/control/ControlClient.java

watch ( name : String , target : String , format : String ) → ControlReply method [source] ¶ method [source] ¶ watch

Asks tmux to report a format whenever its value changes.

<p>tmux re-expands the format about once a second and writes a subscription-changed event only when the result differs from last time, so the comparison happens in the server and a client that subscribes does nothing at all between changes. This is what makes watching a server cost nothing while it is idle.

Parameters

name ( String ) – what to call it; registering the same name again replaces the old one
target ( String ) – %* for every pane, @* for every window, a specific %id or @id, or anything else for the attached session
format ( String ) – a tmux format, such as #{pane_current_command}
