- ## API
-
- ### alloc(size[, fill[, encoding]])
-
- - `size` <Integer> The desired length of the new `Buffer`
- - `fill` <String> | <Buffer> | <Integer> A value to pre-fill the new `Buffer` with. **Default:** `0`
- - `encoding` <String> If `fill` is a string, this is its encoding. **Default:** `'utf8'`
-
- Allocates a new `Buffer` of `size` bytes. If `fill` is `undefined`, the `Buffer` will be zero-filled.
