## install
|
| 20 |
|
|
|
| 21 |
|
|
```
|
| 22 |
|
|
npm install ieee754
|
| 23 |
|
|
```
|
| 24 |
|
|
|
| 25 |
|

|
|
`var ieee754 = require('ieee754')`
|
| 28 |
|
|
|
| 29 |
|
|
The `ieee754` object has the following functions:
|
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
```
|
| 32 |
|
|
ieee754.read = function (buffer, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)
|
| 33 |
|
|
ieee754.write = function (buffer, value, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)
|
| 34 |
|
|
```
|
| 35 |
|
|
|
| 36 |
|
|
The arguments mean the following:
|
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
- buffer = the buffer
|
| 39 |
|
|
- offset = offset into the buffer
|
| 40 |
|
|
- value = value to set (only for `write`)
|
| 41 |
|
|
- isLe = is little endian?
|
| 42 |
|
|
- mLen = mantissa length
|
| 43 |
|
|
- nBytes = number of bytes
|
| 44 |
|
|
|
| 45 |
|
|
