Implementations

impl Client

pub async fn new() -> Result<Self>

Create a new client by finding claude in PATH

pub async fn with_path(path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<Self>

Create a new client with a specific claude path

pub async fn launch(&self, config: SessionConfig) -> Result<Session>

Launch a new Claude session asynchronously

pub async fn launch_and_wait( &self, config: SessionConfig, ) -> Result<ClaudeResult>

Launch a session and wait for it to complete

pub async fn probe_cli(&self) -> Result<CliCapabilities>

Probe the CLI for supported capabilities.

This runs claude --help and parses the output to detect supported flags. Useful for validating SDK compatibility with the installed CLI version.

Example

let client = Client::new().await?;
let caps = client.probe_cli().await?;

if caps.supports("--permission-mode") {
    println!("Permission mode is supported");
}
