Ownership and cleanup

A tmux session, window, or pane normally remains until you kill it. Scope-based cleanup can kill it when your code leaves a block, including after an exception. See Workspaces for a temporary layout example.

Kill objects your program owns

Session, window, and pane values are non-owning. Call try await server.kill(session) or the corresponding window or pane overload when cleanup is required. Perform cleanup on both success and failure paths; Swift’s synchronous defer cannot await a tmux command.

Testing cleanup

Use explicit cleanup for objects whose handles have no disposal hook. For an entire disposable test server, prefer your port’s test fixture or server guard; see Testing with libtmux.
