Description#
- Parameters:
- window: the window to split. tmux splits whichever of its panes is active; name a pane instead with
split(_:direction:size:startDirectory:). - direction: which side of that pane the new one takes. Defaults to
PaneDirection.below, so that this andtmux split-windowwith no flags do the same thing. - size: how much of the pane being split to give the new one. Omitted, tmux halves it.
- startDirectory: where the new pane starts. Omitted, tmux uses the pane's own.
- window: the window to split. tmux splits whichever of its panes is active; name a pane instead with
- Parameters:
tmux command#
The tmux commands behind splitWindow(_:direction:size:startDirectory:environment:shell:).
tmux C API#
The C declarations in tmux that implement these commands.
Each path starts at a function a command runs, which is degree 1. The degree counts steps from there along the path, and each step is a call or a reference: degree 2 is reached from that function, degree 3 from the next, and so on.
