Package Exports

buffer-alloc

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (buffer-alloc) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

alloc(size[, fill[, encoding]])

size <Integer> The desired length of the new Buffer
fill <String> | <Buffer> | <Integer> A value to pre-fill the new Buffer with. Default: 0
encoding <String> If fill is a string, this is its encoding. Default: 'utf8'

Allocates a new Buffer of size bytes. If fill is undefined, the Buffer will be zero-filled.
