Binary.setBlockData(3kaya) Kaya module reference Binary.setBlockData(3kaya)
NAME
Binary::setBlockData - Set the contents of a block.
SYNOPSIS
Void setBlockData( var Binary block, Int offset, [Int] bdata )
ARGUMENTS
block The binary block
offset The offset to start at (zero-indexed)
bdata The data to write, as an array of Int s
DESCRIPTION
Set the contents of (part of) a block from an array. An Binary.OffsetOutOfRange(3kaya) Exception will be thrown if this would cause a
write outside the bounds of the block. The following bits of code are equivalent:
setBlockData(block,offset,bdata);
// is equivalent to
for byte@idx in bdata {
poke(block,offset+idx,byte);
}
However, setBlockData is more efficient and checks bounds before any data is written - the above for loop could write partial data if off-
set+idx was greater than blockSize(block)
