```
io.github.libtmux.Server.Server.session(name: String) -> Optional<Session>
```

The session with this name, captured now.

One read, so the handle carries a capture the way {@link #sessions()} does. The name is
matched exactly; tmux would otherwise take a prefix, so asking for {@code build} could answer
with {@code build-cache}.

Empty means a successful capture did not contain that name. Capture failures throw.

## Raises

- `ServerNotRunningException`: if no daemon is running
- `LibTmuxException`: if the capture otherwise fails
