|
||
|
|
|

|
||
|
|
console.log(buf.fill(9, 2, 4))
|
||

|
||
|
|

## 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.
