(cli-exit-codes)=
tmuxp uses standard exit codes for scripting and automation.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
0 |
Success |
1 |
General error (config validation, tmux command failure) |
2 |
Usage error (invalid arguments, missing required options) |
Because the exit code is meaningful, a script can check it and react. Test it
explicitly with $?:
#!/bin/bash
tmuxp load my-workspace.yaml
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Failed to load workspace"
exit 1
fiOr short-circuit with || to handle the failure inline:
#!/bin/bash
tmuxp load -d my-workspace.yaml || {
echo "tmuxp failed with exit code $?"
exit 1
}
