tmux detach-client

Detach the current client if bound to a key, the client specified with -t, or all clients currently attached to the session specified by -s.

Syntax

tmux detach-client [-aP] [-E shell-command] [-s target-session] [-t target-client]

Alias: detach.

Behavior

Detach the current client if bound to a key, the client specified with -t, or all clients currently attached to the session specified by -s. The -a option kills all but the client given with -t. If -P is given, send SIGHUP to the parent process of the client, typically causing it to exit. With -E, run shell-command to replace the client.
