pub async fn buffer_names(&self) -> Result< Vec<TmuxText>, Error > method async [source] ¶: Description#

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.

tmux command#

The tmux commands behind buffer_names.

The C declarations in tmux that implement these commands.
