```
io.github.libtmux.Server.Server.killSession(name: String) -> void
```

Ends the session with this name, and everything in it.

The name is matched exactly. tmux would otherwise take a prefix, so asking to kill
{@code build} could end {@code build-cache} instead.

## Raises

- `LibTmuxException`: if no session carries the name
