function Get-DbaDbccSessionBuffer {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Gets result of Database Console Command DBCC INPUTBUFFER or DBCC OUTPUTBUFFER
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Returns the results of DBCC INPUTBUFFER or DBCC OUTPUTBUFFER for input sessions

    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
    .PARAMETER Operation
        DBCC Operation to execute - either InputBuffer or OutputBuffer
 
    .PARAMETER SessionId
        The Session ID(s) to use to get current input or output buffer.
 
    .PARAMETER RequestId
        Is the exact request (batch) to search for within the current session
        The following query returns request_id:
 
        SELECT request_id
        FROM sys.dm_exec_requests
        WHERE session_id = @@spid;
 
    .PARAMETER All
        If this switch is enabled, results for all User Sessions will be retreived
        This overides any values for SessionId or RequestId
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
