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)
