```
pasteBuffer(name: string): Promise<void>
```

Paste a named buffer into this pane, as if it were typed.

The program running in the pane sees ordinary input, so a shell runs what
arrives. [`Server.loadBuffer`](/en/ts/latest/reference/server-server-loadbuffer/) fills the buffer beforehand.

## Examples

```ts
await pane.pasteBuffer("greeting");
```

## Parameters

- `name` (`string`)

## tmux command

The tmux commands behind `pasteBuffer`.

- [`paste-buffer`](/en/tmux/latest/manual/paste-buffer/)

## tmux C API

The C declarations in tmux that implement these commands.

- [`cmd_paste_buffer_entry`](/en/tmux/latest/reference/c-variable-cmd_paste_buffer_entry/) (attribute)
- [`cmd_paste_buffer_exec`](/en/tmux/latest/reference/c-function-cmd-paste-buffer-c-cmd_paste_buffer_exec/) (function)
