readInt16LE

fun readInt16LE(offset: Number = definedExternally): Double(source)

Reads a signed, little-endian 16-bit integer from buf at the specifiedoffset.

Integers read from a Buffer are interpreted as two's complement signed values.

import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer';

const buf = Buffer.from([0, 5]);

console.log(buf.readInt16LE(0));
// Prints: 1280
console.log(buf.readInt16LE(1));
// Throws ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE.

Parameters

offset=0 Number of bytes to skip before starting to read. Must satisfy 0 <= offset <= buf.length - 2.
