```
server.Server.buffer_names(self) -> Result<Vec<String>, Error>
```

List the paste buffer names.

A name containing a newline cannot be told apart from two names,
because tmux separates them with newlines and offers no framed form
for this listing. Names come from [`Server::set_buffer`], so a caller
that avoids newlines avoids the ambiguity.

# Errors

Returns an error when tmux refuses the listing.
