TypedArray.prototype.byteOffset

The byteOffset accessor property represents the offset (in bytes) of a typed array from the start of its ArrayBuffer.

Syntax

JavaScript
<var>typedarray</var>.byteOffset

Description

The byteOffset property is an accessor property whose set accessor function is undefined, meaning that you can only read this property. The value is established when a TypedArray is constructed and cannot be changed. TypedArray is one of the TypedArray objects.

Examples

Using the byteOffset property

JavaScript
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);

var uint8 = new Uint8Array(buffer);
uint8.byteOffset; // 0 (no offset specified)

var uint8 = new Uint8Array(buffer, 3);
uint8.byteOffset; // 3 (as specified when constructing Uint8Array)
