tui.output

tui.output PANE [TEXT...]
some_command | tui.output PANE

Replaces the pane’s content with text, or with stdin when no TEXT is given.

Parameters

• TEXT...: joined with spaces, then split on newlines. ANSI escapes are kept.

Notes

• The repaint is queued and coalesced with other changes in the same frame.
• PANE must be a valid bash identifier (letters, digits, _): the content is stored in a variable named after it.
• Reading stdin (cmd | tui.output) costs a pipeline fork; for text updated in a loop use tui.set_text.
• Don’t mix tui.output and tui.set_text on the same pane: tui.set_text skips text it thinks is already shown.

Example

tui.output log "line one"
tui.output log "$(ls -la)"
df -h | tui.output disk
