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

Read one option's exact stored value.

A user option, whose name begins with `@`, exists only while it is
set, so an unset one reports `None`. A built-in option always exists,
so an unset one also reports `None`. An unrecognized built-in name is
an error.

# Errors

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