Package Exports

buffer-fill

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-fill) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

API

fill(buf, value[, offset[, end]][, encoding])

value <String> | <Buffer> | <Integer> The value to fill buf with
offset <Integer> Where to start filling buf. Default: 0
end <Integer> Where to stop filling buf (not inclusive). Default: buf.length
encoding <String> If value is a string, this is its encoding. Default: 'utf8'
Return: <Buffer> A reference to buf

Fills buf with the specified value. If the offset and end are not given, the entire buf will be filled. This is meant to be a small simplification to allow the creation and filling of a Buffer to be done on a single line.

If the final write of a fill() operation falls on a multi-byte character, then only the first bytes of that character that fit into buf are written.
