cmd ( self , command : Command ) → Result<CommandResult, Error> method [source] ¶ method [source] ¶ cmd

Run a raw tmux command against this window.

The escape hatch for anything this crate does not wrap. -t is placed after the subcommand for you, because tmux stops reading flags at the first positional: a target appended after one is taken as text, and the command then succeeds having acted on something else.

A non-zero exit status comes back in the CommandResult rather than as an error, the same as crate::Server::cmd .

Errors

Returns an error when the process cannot be started, captured, or awaited.

In other ports Run a tmux command addressed at a window

Examples

let guard = libtmux::test::TestServer::new().await?;
let session = guard.server().new_session("raw").await?;
let window = session.active_window().await?.expect("a window");

let result = window
    .cmd(libtmux::Command::new("display-message").arg("-p").arg("#{window_id}"))
    .await?;
assert_eq!(result.stdout_lossy().trim(), window.id().to_string());

guard.shutdown().await?;

Create a pane from a window:

>>> window.cmd('split-window', '-P', '-F#{pane_id}').stdout[0]
'%...'

Magic, directly to a Pane :

>>> Pane.from_pane_id(pane_id=session.cmd(
... 'split-window', '-P', '-F#{pane_id}').stdout[0], server=session.server)
Pane(%... Window(@... ...:..., Session($1 libtmux_...)))

await window.cmd("rotate-window");
