Method: FFI::Buffer#initialize

Defined in:
ext/ffi_c/Buffer.c

#initialize(size, count = 1, clear = false) ⇒ self

A new instance of Buffer.

Parameters:

  • Type (Integer, Symbol, #size) —

    or size in bytes of a buffer cell

  • count (Integer) —

    number of cell in the Buffer

  • clear (Boolean) —

    if true, set the buffer to all-zero

Raises:

  • (NoMemoryError) —

    if failed to allocate memory for Buffer
