Prerelease This site documents an alpha of libtmux. Its structure, URLs and APIs are subject to change.

tmux if-shell

Execute the first command if shell-command returns success or the second command otherwise.

Syntax

tmux if-shell [-bF] [-t target-pane] shell-command command [command]

Alias: if.

Behavior

Execute the first command if shell-command returns success or the second command otherwise. Before being executed, shell-command is expanded using the rules specified in the FORMATS section, including those relevant to target-pane. With -b, shell-command is run in the background.

If -F is given, shell-command is not executed but considered success if neither empty nor zero (after formats are expanded).

C implementation
