  Returns number

put

• put(byteValue): void

• Updates this binary with byte_value.

  Parameters

  • byteValue: string | number | Uint8Array | number[]

    a single byte we wish to write.

  Returns void

read

• read(position, length): BinarySequence

• Reads length bytes starting at position.

  Parameters

  • position: number

    read from the given position in the Binary.

  • length: number

    the number of bytes to read.

  Returns BinarySequence

  Returns string

toUUID

• toUUID(): UUID

• Returns UUID

value

• value(): Uint8Array

• returns a view of the binary value as a Uint8Array

  Returns Uint8Array

write

• write(sequence, offset): void

• Writes a buffer to the binary.

  Parameters
