About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Buffer
Buffer constructor.
Installation
1npm install @stdlib/buffer-ctor
Alternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
script
tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesm
branch (see README). - If you are using Deno, visit the
deno
branch (see README for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umd
branch (see README).
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.
Usage
1var Buffer = require( '@stdlib/buffer-ctor' );
Buffer( size )
Allocates a Buffer
having a specified number of bytes.
1var b = new Buffer( 10 ); 2// returns <Buffer>
Buffer( array )
Allocates a Buffer
from an array of octets.
1var b = new Buffer( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ); 2// returns <Buffer>[ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
Buffer( buffer )
Copies buffer data to a new Buffer
instance.
1var b1 = new Buffer( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ); 2var b2 = new Buffer( b1 ); 3// returns <Buffer>[ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
Buffer( str[, encoding] )
Returns a Buffer
containing a provided string
.
1var b = new Buffer( 'beep boop' ); 2// returns <Buffer>
