commands and allow a command to block execution of subsequent commands. This
allows run-shell and if-shell to be synchronous which has been much requested.
Each client has a default command queue and commands are consumed one at a time
from it. A command may suspend execution from the queue by returning
CMD_RETURN_WAIT and then resume it by calling cmd_continue() - for example
run-shell does this from the callback that is fired after the job is freed.
When the command queue becomes empty, command clients are automatically exited
(unless attaching). A callback is also fired - this is used for nested commands
in, for example, if-shell which can block execution of the client's cmdq until
a new cmdq becomes empty.
Also merge all the old error/info/print functions together and lose the old
curclient/cmdclient distinction - a cmdq is bound to one client (or none if in
the configuration file), this is a command client if c->session is NULL
otherwise an attached client.
Make command exec functions return an enum rather than -1/0/1 values and
add a new value to mean "leave client running but don't attach" to fix
problems with using some commands in a command sequence. Most of the
work by Thomas Adam, problem reported by "jspenguin" on SF bug 3535531.

|Add a flag to cmd_find_session so that attach-session can prefer
|unattached sessions when choosing the most recently used (if -t is not
|given). Suggested by claudio@.
Clean up and simplify tmux command argument parsing.
Originally, tmux commands were parsed in the client process into a
struct with the command data which was then serialised and sent to the
server to be executed. The parsing was later moved into the server (an
argv was sent from the client), but the parse step and intermediate
struct was kept.
This change removes that struct and the separate parse step. Argument
parsing and printing is now common to all commands (in arguments.c) with
each command left with just an optional check function (to validate the
arguments at parse time), the exec function and a function to set up any
key bindings (renamed from the old init function).
This is overall more simple and consistent.
There should be no changes to any commands behaviour or syntax although
as this touches every command please watch for any unexpected changes.
Don't reset the activity timer for unattached sessions every second,
this screws up the choice of most-recently-used. Instead, break the time
update into a little function and do it when the session is attached.
Pointed out by joshe@.
Two new options:
- server option "exit-unattached" makes the server exit when no clients
are attached, even if sessions are present;
- session option "destroy-unattached" destroys a session once no clients
are attached to it.
These are useful for preventing tmux remaining in the background where
it is undesirable and when using tmux as a login shell to keep a limit
on new sessions.
Add -n and -p flags to switch-client to move to the next and previous
session (yes, it doesn't match window/pane, but so what, nor does
switch-client).
Based on a diff long ago from "edsouza".
Make all messages sent between the client and server fixed size.
This is the first of two changes to make the protocol more resilient and less
sensitive to other changes in the code, particularly with commands. The client
now packs argv into a buffer and sends it to the server for parsing, rather
than doing it itself and sending the parsed command data.
As a side-effect this also removes a lot of now-unused command marshalling
code.
Mixing a server without this change and a client with or vice versa will cause
tmux to hang or crash, please ensure that tmux is entirely killed before
upgrading.
maintain and is only going to get worse as more are used. So instead, add a new
uint64_t member to cmd_entry which is a bitmask of upper and lowercase options
accepted by the command.
This means new single character options can be used without the need to add it
explicitly to the list.
