Atomic Buffers

Atomic readInt32(), writeInt32(), readUInt32() and writeUInt32() for node.js buffers.

Status: Experimental

Installation

Via npm:

npm install --save atomicbuffers

Usage

var atomic = require("atomicbuffers");
 
var buf = new Buffer(16);
 
atomic.writeInt32(buf, 123, 0);
atomic.readInt32(buf, 0); // 123
