No, it’s a old command but not very useful for a user.

The original source for the reference pages didn’t provide a way to describe the syntax for \setbuffer but there are also many commands which are undocumented.

\setbuffer can’t be nested like \startbuffer and not a command which should be used in a document. It’s useful for internal use when one write macros where the regular buffer environment can’t be used.
