Class ByteBufferHelper

Namespace

Alacrity.Internal

Assembly

Alacrity.Internal.dll

Helper class for dealing with a byte buffer of a specified size. You can write various primitives to the buffer and then get the final size and buffer for usage before resetting it for further use. Helps avoid additional allocations. Intended for internal usage by Alacrity, but very generic and can be used anywhere.
