tmux display-message
Display a message.
Syntax¶
tmux display-message [-aCIlNpv] [-c target-client] [-d delay] [-F format] [-t target-pane] [message]Alias: display.
Behavior¶
Display a message. If
-p is given, the output is
printed to stdout, otherwise it is displayed in the
target-client status line for up to
delay milliseconds. If delay
is not given, the display-time option is used; a
delay of zero waits for a key press. -N ignores
key presses and closes only after the delay expires. If
-C is given, the pane will continue to be updated
while the message is displayed. If -l is given,
message is printed unchanged. Otherwise, the format
of message is described in the
FORMATS section; information is taken
from target-pane if -t is
given, otherwise the active pane.
-v prints verbose logging as the
format is parsed and -a lists the format
variables and their values.
-I forwards any input read from stdin
to the empty pane given by target-pane.
