Read a pointer as a Buffer
If byteLength is not provided, the pointer is assumed to be 0-terminated.

@param byteOffset

@param byteLength

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!
