- # Buffer Fill
-
- A [ponyfill](https://ponyfill.com) for `Buffer.fill`.
-
- Works as Node.js: `v6.4.0` <br>
- Works on Node.js: `v0.10.0`
-
- ## Installation
-
- ```sh
- npm install --save buffer-fill
- ```
-
- ## Usage
-
- ```js
- const fill = require('buffer-fill')
- const buf = Buffer.allocUnsafe(5)
-
- console.log(buf.fill(8))
- //=> <Buffer 08 08 08 08 08>
-
- console.log(buf.fill(9, 2, 4))
- //=> <Buffer 08 08 09 09 08>
-
- console.log(buf.fill('linus', 'latin1'))
- //=> <Buffer 6c 69 6e 75 73>
-
- console.log(buf.fill('\u0222'))
- //=> <Buffer c8 a2 c8 a2 c8>
- ```

- ## API
-
- ### fill(buf, value[, offset[, end]][, encoding])
-
- - `value` <String> | <Buffer> | <Integer> The value to fill `buf` with
- - `offset` <Integer> Where to start filling `buf`. **Default:** `0`
- - `end` <Integer> Where to stop filling `buf` (not inclusive). **Default:** `buf.length`
- - `encoding` <String> If `value` is a string, this is its encoding. **Default:** `'utf8'`
- - Return: <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. This is meant to be a small simplification to
- allow the creation and filling of a `Buffer` to be done on a single line.
-
- If the final write of a `fill()` operation falls on a multi-byte character, then
- only the first bytes of that character that fit into `buf` are written.
