You could use lsof -p {pid}
to find out what files your process has open, and select the socket from that list.
Alright, I'll use lsof -p 133249 | awk '{print $9}' | grep /tmp/nvim
for now. Maybe not ideal but should probably be reliable
on my machine, as long as I don't set the NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS
environment variable (which, while supported by nvr
, is deprecated in nvim
, but still has an effect on the socket name), the PID is added to the socket, e.g.
$ nvr --serverlist
/run/user/1000/nvim.878819.0
so it is possible to do this if you know the PID:
$ PID=878819
$ nvr --servername "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/nvim.${PID}.0" ...
(the .0
at the end is a counter, but I believe it is incremented only if the same process is serving on multiple sockets)
Is it possible to select the nvim instance by PID instead of socket?
I want to query the current state of an instance to decide whether I need to ask before closing a tab in my terminal, but I only have the PID of the nvim process in question.
Is there a convinient way to run the evaluation on the nvim instance with that PID. I was thinking something like:
