The byteOffset
accessor property of DataView instances returns the offset (in bytes) of this view from the start of its ArrayBuffer or SharedArrayBuffer.
Description
The byteOffset
property is an accessor property whose set accessor function is undefined
, meaning that you can only read this property. The value is established when an DataView
is constructed and cannot be changed.
Examples
Using the byteOffset property
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
const dataview = new DataView(buffer);
dataview.byteOffset; // 0 (no offset specified)
const dataview2 = new DataView(buffer, 3);
dataview2.byteOffset; // 3 (as specified when constructing the DataView)
