npm install ieee754

methods

var ieee754 = require('ieee754')

The ieee754 object has the following functions:

ieee754.read = function (buffer, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)
ieee754.write = function (buffer, value, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)

The arguments mean the following:

• buffer = the buffer
• offset = offset into the buffer
• value = value to set (only for write)
• isLe = is little endian?
• mLen = mantissa length
• nBytes = number of bytes
