```
server.Server.buffer(self, name: impl AsRef<[u8]>) -> Result<Option<Vec<u8>>, Error>
```

Read a paste buffer's exact bytes.

Returns `None` when no buffer has that name. Buffer contents are
arbitrary bytes, so this is not a string. The name is bytes too, so
one [`Self::buffer_names`] lists passes back as it is.

# Errors

Returns an error when tmux cannot be reached.
