```
server.settings.Server.get_option(self, name: &str) -> Result<Option<TmuxText>, Error>
```

Read one server option's exact stored value.

Returns `None` when the option is known but holds no value. tmux
prints nothing in that case, so an option set to the empty string
cannot be told apart from an unset one.

# Errors

Returns an error when tmux does not recognize the option name.
