API Reference

Every added/existing type must have .Read and .Write functions.

.Write(buf: buffer, offset: number, value: Type): buffer

.Write writes the value to buf at offset, and returns buf (If the buf is nil, it will be created)

local write = BufferUtil.Float.Write(nil, 0, 100)

---

.Read(buf: buffer, offset: number): Type

.Read reads and returns the value that you .Write, from the buf at offset.

local read = BufferUtil.Float.Read(write, 0)
