Early release libtmux is released, and its APIs may still change between releases. This site's structure and URLs may change too.

Swift API

constant libtmux-swift latest

Outcome.alternateScreen

A pager, editor, or other full-screen program owned the pane, so matching was suppressed for as long as it did.

Qualified name: OutputWait.Outcome.alternateScreen
Module: OutputWait
Declared in: Outcome
Package: libtmux-swift

alternateScreen : case alternateScreen constant [source] ¶: Description#

tmux fills that grid without adding to history, so what a capture returns is the program's paint rather than anything the pane printed — matching it reports text that was never written. Read the screen with Server.capture(_:includingHistory:) instead of retrying: a different pattern does not change what the wait is allowed to see.
