Description#
Runs in a process of its own even on a connected server, so that the answer does not depend on which mode asked. A connection reports a command's output as lines, and
show-bufferwrites the buffer as bytes with a terminator after them — so a buffer ending in a newline and one that does not arrive in the same shape as a listing whose last row is empty. Nothing on the wire tells the two apart, and every supported tmux behaves this way, so the bytes are read from a process instead of guessed at.
tmux command#
The tmux commands behind buffer(named:).
tmux C API#
The C declarations in tmux that implement these commands.
