The read function behaves similarly to DataView, but it's usually faster because it doesn't need to create a DataView or ArrayBuffer.
Symbol
read.u8
@param ptr
The memory address to read
@param byteOffset
bytes to skip before reading
While there are some checks to catch invalid pointers, this is a difficult thing to do safely. Passing an invalid pointer can crash the program and reading beyond the bounds of the pointer will crash the program or cause undefined behavior. Use with care!
