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

List the paste buffer names.

A name is [`TmuxText`] because whoever made the buffer chose it: tmux
before 3.7 stores any bytes, a newline included. Each name is read
framed, so one holding a newline or `=` is one name, and
[`Self::buffer`] and [`Self::delete_buffer`] take it back unchanged.

# Errors

Returns an error when tmux refuses the listing, and
[`Error::DecodeListing`] when its output does not decode.
