Package Exports

int53

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 (int53) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

int53

serialization of 53-bit integers to and from 8 byte buffers.

usage

var int53 = require('int53')

var a = Buffer(8)

int53.writeUInt64BE(0xFFFFFFFFFFF, a)

var b = Buffer('0000FFFFFFFFFFFF', 'hex')

var x = int53.readUInt64BE(b)

API

var number = int53.readInt64BE(buffer, offset)
var number = int53.readInt64LE(buffer, offset)
var number = int53.readUInt64BE(buffer, offset)
var number = int53.readUInt64LE(buffer, offset)

int53.writeInt64BE(number, buffer, offset)
int53.writeInt64LE(number, buffer, offset)
int53.writeUInt64BE(number, buffer, offset)
int53.writeUInt64LE(number, buffer, offset)

why?

Sometimes you need to read and write 64-bit integers. For some things like timestamps, file sizes, and counters the 53-bits offered by a double is enough to get by, and easier to work with than a bigint module.
