Description

I'd love to be able to have an application spying on a tmux session and waiting for particular things to happen (particularly, subprocesses ending, panes closing). To do this concurrently though the API would have to be non-blocking. Is this a possibility?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing libtmux API and how tmux exposes session events; done would require a clearly specified non-blocking event-driven interface covering subprocess completion and pane closure.
