buf.

fill(value[, offset[, end]][, encoding])#


value <string> | <Buffer> | <Uint8Array> | <integer> The value with which to fill buf.
offset <integer> Number of bytes to skip before starting to fill buf. Default: 0.
end <integer> Where to stop filling buf (not inclusive). Default: buf.length.
encoding <string> The encoding for value if value is a string. Default: 'utf8'.
Returns: <Buffer> A reference to buf.
Fills buf with the specified value. If the offset and end are not given, the entire buf will be filled:
// Fill a `Buffer` with the ASCII character 'h'.

const b = Buffer.allocUnsafe(50).fill('h');

console.log(b.toString());
// Prints: hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

value is coerced to a uint32 value if it is not a string, Buffer, or integer. If the resulting integer is


greater than 255 (decimal), buf will be filled with value & 255.
If the final write of a fill() operation falls on a multi-byte character, then only the bytes of that
character that fit into buf are written:
// Fill a `Buffer` with character that takes up two bytes in UTF-8.

console.log(Buffer.allocUnsafe(5).fill('\u0222'));
// Prints: <Buffer c8 a2 c8 a2 c8>

If value contains invalid characters, it is truncated; if no valid fill data remains, an exception is


thrown:
const buf = Buffer.allocUnsafe(5);

console.log(buf.fill('a'));
// Prints: <Buffer 61 61 61 61 61>
console.log(buf.fill('aazz', 'hex'));
// Prints: <Buffer aa aa aa aa aa>
console.log(buf.fill('zz', 'hex'));
// Throws an exception.

buf.includes(value[, byteOffset][, encoding])#


Added in: v5.3.0
value <string> | <Buffer> | <Uint8Array> | <integer> What to search for.
byteOffset <integer> Where to begin searching in buf. If negative, then offset is calculated from
the end of buf. Default: 0.
encoding <string> If value is a string, this is its encoding. Default: 'utf8'.
Returns: <boolean> true if value was found in buf, false otherwise.
Equivalent to buf.indexOf() !== -1.
const buf = Buffer.from('this is a buffer');

console.log(buf.includes('this'));
// Prints: true
console.log(buf.includes('is'));
// Prints: true
console.log(buf.includes(Buffer.from('a buffer')));
// Prints: true
console.log(buf.includes(97));
// Prints: true (97 is the decimal ASCII value for 'a')
console.log(buf.includes(Buffer.from('a buffer example')));
// Prints: false
console.log(buf.includes(Buffer.from('a buffer example').slice(0, 8)));
// Prints: true
console.log(buf.includes('this', 4));
// Prints: false
