```
tmux.Server.ShowBufferBytes(ctx: context.Context, name: *string) -> ([]byte, error)
```

ShowBufferBytes returns one buffer as exact caller-owned tmux stdout bytes. Unlike [Server.ShowBuffer], it preserves invalid UTF-8, delimiters, and trailing newlines. Nil Name selects tmux's most recent buffer. Completed stderr returns a redacted command error and a nil byte slice.
