Configuration

Environment Variables

libtmux itself does not read environment variables for configuration. All configuration is done programmatically through the Python API.

The tmux server libtmux connects to may be influenced by standard tmux environment variables (TMUX, TMUX_TMPDIR).

Format Strings

libtmux uses tmux’s format system to query state. Format constants are defined in libtmux.formats and used internally by all object types.

See the tmux man page for the full list of available formats.
