Last Updated :

The Buffer.writeBigUInt64LE() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of class Buffer within the Buffer module which is used to writes little endian 64-bits Big integer value to an allocated buffer at the specified offset.
Syntax:
Buffer.writeBigUInt64LE( value, offset )
Parameters:
value: This parameter specifies big integer value to be written to the buffer. It should be a valid 64 bits little endian Big integer value. Behavior is undefined when value is anything other than this.
offset: It specifies the number of bytes to skip before write or simply signify the index in the buffer. The value of offset lies 0 <= offset <= Buffer.length – 8. Its default value is 0.
Return Value: This method returns an unsigned integer value that is the sum of offset and number of bytes written.
Below examples illustrate the use of Buffer.writeBigUInt64LE() method in Node.js:
Example 1:
Filename: index.js
const buf = Buffer.allocUnsafe(8);
buf.writeBigUInt64LE(0x01030405060708n, 0);
console.log(buf);
|
Run the index.js file using the following command:
node index.js
Output:
<Buffer 08 07 06 05 04 03 01 00>
Example 2:
Filename: index.js
const buf = Buffer.allocUnsafe(8);
buf.writeBigUInt64LE(0xaa03040506efffn, 0);
console.log(buf);
|
Run the index.js file using the following command:
node index.js
Output:
<Buffer ff ef 06 05 04 03 aa 00>
