```
server.Server.equals(other: : unknown) -> boolean
```

Whether `other` is a handle addressing the same tmux server.

Compared by the socket the connection resolves to rather than by object
identity, so a server constructed twice against one socket is equal to
itself. A socket *name* is not that socket: tmux resolves `-L work` under
`TMUX_TMPDIR`, so the same name with two different tmpdirs addresses two
different daemons, and this reports them as different. Accepts `unknown`
because the interesting comparisons are against values a caller has not
narrowed yet.

## Example

```ts
server.equals(new Server({ socketPath: server.socketPath ?? "" }));
```
