])
await b.append([

Buffer.from('block #4')
])
await b.append([
Buffer.from('block #5')
])
// how many batches are appended?
await b.length()
// how much data in all batches?
await b.byteLength()
// get a batch
const batch = await b.get(1) // get the second batch
console.log(batch.length) // 3 entries
const block = await batch.get(0) // 'block #2'
const block = await batch.get(1) // 'block #3'
