Buffer.writeInt8 - node__buffer.d.ts - Node

method Buffer.writeInt8

Usage in Deno

```typescript import { type Buffer } from "node:node__buffer.d.ts"; ```



Buffer.writeInt8(value: number,
offset?: number,
): number

Writes `value` to `buf` at the specified `offset`. `value` must be a valid signed 8-bit integer. Behavior is undefined when `value` is anything other than a signed 8-bit integer. `value` is interpreted and written as a two's complement signed integer. ```js import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer'; const buf = Buffer.allocUnsafe(2); buf.writeInt8(2, 0); buf.writeInt8(-2, 1); console.log(buf); // Prints: ```

Parameters



value: number

Number to be written to `buf`.

optional



offset: number = 0

Number of bytes to skip before starting to write. Must satisfy `0 <= offset <= buf.length - 1`.

Return Type

number

`offset` plus the number of bytes written.
