loadBuffer(from: String, named: String?) -> ()

Description#

setBuffer(_:named:) carries the text as an argument, which caps it at whatever the platform allows in an argument vector and — over connected(attachingTo:_:) — forbids a newline outright, because a connection sends a command line. A path has neither problem: it is short, and tmux opens the file itself. This is the way to put many lines into a buffer from a connected server.

The path is resolved by the tmux server, which for a socket on this machine is this machine.

Parameters
Raises

tmux command#

The tmux commands behind loadBuffer(from:named:).

tmux C API#

The C declarations in tmux that implement these commands.
