})()
StaticfromAllocates a new Buffer using an array of bytes in the range 0 – 255. Array entries outside that range will be truncated to fit into it.
If array is an Array-like object (that is, one with a length property of type number), it is treated as if it is an array, unless it is a Buffer or a Uint8Array. This means all other TypedArray variants get treated as an Array. To create a Buffer from the bytes backing a TypedArray, use Buffer.copyBytesFrom.
;(async function () {
const { Buffer } = await import('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@taichunmin/buffer@0/+esm')
const buf1 = Buffer.from([0x62, 0x75, 0x66, 0x66, 0x65, 0x72])
console.log(buf1.toString('hex')) // Prints: 627566666572
const u16 = new Uint16Array([0x0001, 0x0002])
const buf2 = Buffer.from(u16)
console.log(buf2.toString('hex')) // Prints: 0102
})()
This creates a view of the ArrayBuffer without copying the underlying memory. For example, when passed a reference to the .buffer property of a TypedArray instance, the newly created Buffer will share the same allocated memory as the TypedArray's underlying ArrayBuffer.
The optional byteOffset and length arguments specify a memory range within the arrayBuffer that will be shared by the Buffer.
It is important to remember that a backing ArrayBuffer can cover a range of memory that extends beyond the bounds of a TypedArray view. A new Buffer created using the buffer property of a TypedArray may extend beyond the range of the TypedArray:
An ArrayBuffer, SharedArrayBuffer, for example the .buffer property of a TypedArray.
OptionalbyteOffset: numberIndex of first byte to expose. Default: 0.
Optionallength: numberNumber of bytes to expose. Default: arrayBuffer.byteLength - byteOffset.

StaticpackParse a format string format. This is a internal method used by Buffer.packCalcSize, Buffer.pack, Buffer.unpack and Buffer.iterUnpack.
A format string.
The first character of the format string can be used to indicate the byte order, size and alignment of the packed data, according to the following table:
| Character | Byte order | Size | Alignment |
|---|---|---|---|
@ |
native | standard | none |
= |
native | standard | none |
< |
little-endian | standard | none |
> |
big-endian | standard | none |
! |
big-endian | standard | none |
If the first character is not one of these, @ is assumed.
Format characters have the following meaning; the conversion between C and Python values should be obvious given their types. The ‘Size’ column refers to the size of the packed value in bytes.

Notes:
x inserts one NUL byte (0x00).? conversion code corresponds to the _Bool type defined by C standards since C99. It is represented by one byte.6.1e-05 and 6.5e+04 at full precision. This type is not widely supported by C compilers: on a typical machine, an unsigned short can be used for storage, but not for math operations. See the Wikipedia page on the half-precision floating-point format for more information.f, d and e conversion codes, the packed representation uses the IEEE 754 binary32, binary64 or binary16 format (for f, d or e respectively), regardless of the floating-point format used by the platform.s format character, the count is interpreted as the length of the bytes, not a repeat count like for the other format characters; for example, 10s means a single 10-byte Buffer mapping to or from a single Buffer, while 10c means 10 separate one byte character elements (e.g., cccccccccc) mapping to or from ten different Buffer. (See Examples for a concrete demonstration of the difference.) If a count is not given, it defaults to 1. For packing, the Buffer is truncated or padded with null bytes as appropriate to make it fit. For unpacking, the resulting Buffer always has exactly the specified number of bytes. As a special case, 0s means a single, empty Buffer.p format character encodes a "Pascal string", meaning a short variable-length string stored in a fixed number of bytes, given by the count. The first byte stored is the length of the string, or 255, whichever is smaller. The bytes of the string follow. If the string passed in to pack() is too long (longer than the count minus 1), only the leading count-1 bytes of the string are stored. If the string is shorter than count-1, it is padded with null bytes so that exactly count bytes in all are used. Note that for unpack(), the p format character consumes count bytes, but that the string returned can never contain more than 255 bytes.A format character may be preceded by an integral repeat count. For example, the format string 4h means exactly the same as hhhh.
For the ? format character, the return value is either true or false. When packing, the truth value of the argument object is used. Either 0 or 1 in the bool representation will be packed, and any non-zero value will be true when unpacking.

All values from the source array are copied into the Buffer, unless the length of the source array plus the target offset exceeds the length of the Buffer, in which case an exception is thrown. If the source array is a Buffer, the two arrays may share the same underlying ArrayBuffer; the JavaScript engine will intelligently copy the source range of the buffer to the destination range.
Optionaloffset: numberThe offset into the Buffer at which to begin writing values from the source array. If this value is omitted, 0 is assumed (that is, the source array will overwrite values in the Buffer starting at index 0).

console.log(buf1.toString('hex')) // Prints: 04030201
})()
Returns a new Buffer that references the same memory as the original, but offset and cropped by the start and end indexes.
Specifying end greater than buf.length will return the same result as that of end equal to buf.length.
Modifying the new Buffer slice will modify the memory in the original Buffer because the allocated memory of the two objects overlap.
Specifying negative indexes causes the slice to be generated relative to the end of buf rather than the beginning.
Optionalstart: numberWhere the new Buffer will start. Default: 0.
Optionalend: numberWhere the new Buffer will end (not inclusive). Default: buf.length.

Calculates the Bitwise XOR of all bytes in buf. If buf is empty, returns 0. You can use Buffer#subarray to calculate the Bitwise XOR of a subset of buf. Xor is usually used to calculate checksums in serial communication.
The Bitwise XOR of all bytes in buf.
The method Bitwise XOR every bytes with other in place and returns this. If length of other is shorter than this, the remaining bytes in this will not be changed. If length of other is longer than this, the remaining bytes in other will be ignored.
