```
server.Server.showBufferBytes(name: : string) -> Promise<Uint8Array>
```

Read a named paste buffer without decoding or splitting its bytes.

Unlike {@link Server.showBuffer}, this preserves NUL, invalid UTF-8, line
endings, and trailing newlines.

## Example

```ts
const bytes = await server.showBufferBytes("payload");
bytes[0]; // 104
```
