`var ieee754 = require('ieee754')`

|
The `ieee754` object has the following functions:
|
|
32
|
|
|
33
|
```
|
|
34
|
ieee754.read = function (buffer, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)
|
|
35
|
ieee754.write = function (buffer, value, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)
|
|
36
|
```
|
|
37
|
|
|
38
|
The arguments mean the following:
|
|
39
|
|
|
40
|
- buffer = the buffer
|
|
41
|
- offset = offset into the buffer
|
|
42
|
- value = value to set (only for `write`)
|
|
43
|
- isLe = is little endian?
|
|
44
|
- mLen = mantissa length
|
|
45
|
- nBytes = number of bytes
|
|
46
