method

ArrayBufferSink.flush

flush(): number | ArrayBuffer | Uint8Array<ArrayBuffer>;

Flush the internal buffer

If ArrayBufferSink.start was passed a stream option, this will return a ArrayBuffer If ArrayBufferSink.start was passed a stream option and asUint8Array, this will return a Uint8Array Otherwise, this will return the number of bytes written since the last flush

This API might change later to separate Uint8ArraySink and ArrayBufferSink

class ArrayBuffer

Represents a raw buffer of binary data, which is used to store data for the different typed arrays. ArrayBuffers cannot be read from or written to directly, but can be passed to a typed array or DataView Object to interpret the raw buffer as needed.

resize(
newByteLength?: number
): void;
