# tmux_wait

Source: https://libtmux.org/en/ruby/latest/mcp/tools/tmux_wait/

> Wait for observed literal screen text or the initial pane process exit. Deadline in seconds is capped by the application limit. Uses control events/process descriptors; no polling. Requires tmux>=3.3 and Linux peer pidfds with matching PID namespaces or Darwin kqueue process observation. Reports observed evidence, never remote termination caused by cancellation or an inferred process exit status.
