Description#
The escape hatch for anything this crate does not wrap.
-tis 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
CommandResultrather than as an error, the same ascrate::Server::cmd().Errors
Returns an error when the process cannot be started, captured, or awaited.
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?;
