|
Convert from a Buffer to an ArrayBuffer as fast as possible.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that in some cases the returned ArrayBuffer is backed by the same memory as the original
|
||
|
Buffer (but in other cases it is a copy), so **modifying the ArrayBuffer is not recommended**.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This module is designed to work both in node.js and in all browsers with ArrayBuffer support
|
||
|
when using [the Buffer implementation provided by Browserify](https://www.npmjs.com/package/buffer).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
``` js
|
||
|
var toArrayBuffer = require('to-arraybuffer')
|
||
|
|
||
|
var buffer = new Buffer(100)
|
||
|
// Fill the buffer with some data
|
||
|
|
||
|
var ab = toArrayBuffer(buffer)
|
||
|
// `ab` now contains the same data as `buffer`
|
||
|
```
