copy

import { copy } from "jsr:@ende/bytes";

function

function copy(src: Uint8Array, dst: Uint8Array, offset: number = 0): number

Copy bytes from the source array to the destination array and returns the number of bytes copied.

If the source array is larger than what the dst array can hold, only the amount of bytes that fit in the dst array are copied.

src: Uint8Array: Source array to copy from.
dst: Uint8Array: Destination array to copy to.
offset: number = 0: Offset in the destination array to start copying to. Defaults to 0.

Returns

Number of bytes copied.

Example: Basic usage

import { copy } from "@ende/bytes/copy";
import { assertEquals } from "@ende/assert";

const src = new Uint8Array([9, 8, 7]);
const dst = new Uint8Array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

assertEquals(copy(src, dst), 3);
assertEquals(dst, new Uint8Array([9, 8, 7, 3, 4, 5]));

Example: Copy with offset

import { copy } from "@ende/bytes/copy";
import { assertEquals } from "@ende/assert";

const src = new Uint8Array([1, 1, 1, 1]);
const dst = new Uint8Array([0, 0, 0, 0]);

assertEquals(copy(src, dst, 1), 3);
assertEquals(dst, new Uint8Array([0, 1, 1, 1]));

Defining an offset will start copying at the specified index in the destination array.
