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.
