pipeline ( commands : : readonly (readonly string[])[] , options : : CommandOptions ) → Promise<readonly (readonly string[])[]> method [source] ¶ method [source] ¶ pipeline

Run several tmux commands in order.

The result is positional: results[i] holds what commands[i] printed, empty for a command that prints nothing. Commands run as separate tmux invocations because arbitrary command output has no alias-independent delimiter.

Not atomic. tmux runs the commands in order and stops at the first failure, leaving everything before it applied; the error names the command that failed. Take a Server.snapshot afterwards if you need to know what survived.

Examples

const [[first], [second]] = await server.pipeline([
  ["new-window", "-d", "-P", "-F", "#{window_id}"],
  ["new-window", "-d", "-P", "-F", "#{window_id}"],
]);
