```
format_value(update::LibTmux.FormatUpdate)
```

## Methods

Decode one captured format update, preserving literal tabs, newlines, backslashes and Unicode. This accessor performs no I/O. Empty text does not establish field availability; malformed escaped bytes raise `ArgumentError`. The original `update.bytes` remain unchanged.

```julia
format_value(update::FormatUpdate) -> String
```

## Parameters

- `update` (`LibTmux.FormatUpdate`)
