将string使用指定的encoding写入到buffer的offset处。

返回写入了多少个八进制字节。

如果Buffer没有足够的空间来适应整个string,那么将只有string的部分被写入。

语法：

代码如下:
buffer.write(string, [offset], [length], [encoding])

接收参数：

string String,被写入buffer的数据.
offet number,可选,默认0.数据写入到buffer的位置.
length Number,可选,默认:buffer.length – offset,要写入数据的长度
encoding String,需要使用的编码格式,可选,默认为”utf8″.

例子：

代码如下:
buf = new Buffer(256);

len = buf.write('\u00bd + \u00bc = \u00be', 0);

console.log(len + " bytes: " + buf.toString('utf8', 0, len));

源码：

代码如下:
Buffer.prototype.write = function(string, offset, length, encoding) {
// allow write(string, encoding)
if (util.isString(offset) && util.isUndefined(length)) {
encoding = offset;
offset = 0;
// allow write(string, offset[, length], encoding)
} else if (isFinite(offset)) {
offset = ~~offset;
if (isFinite(length)) {
length = ~~length;
} else {
encoding = length;
length = undefined;
}
// XXX legacy write(string, encoding, offset, length) - remove in v0.13
} else {
if (!writeWarned) {
if (process.throwDeprecation)
throw new Error(writeMsg);
else if (process.traceDeprecation)
console.trace(writeMsg);
else
console.error(writeMsg);
writeWarned = true;
}
var swap = encoding;
encoding = offset;
offset = ~~length;
length = swap;
}
var remaining = this.length - offset;
if (util.isUndefined(length) || length > remaining)
length = remaining;
encoding = !!encoding ? (encoding + '').toLowerCase() : 'utf8';
if (string.length > 0 && (length < 0 || offset < 0))
throw new RangeError('attempt to write beyond buffer bounds');
var ret;
switch (encoding) {
case 'hex':
ret = this.hexWrite(string, offset, length);
break;
case 'utf8':
case 'utf-8':
ret = this.utf8Write(string, offset, length);
break;
case 'ascii':
ret = this.asciiWrite(string, offset, length);
break;
case 'binary':
ret = this.binaryWrite(string, offset, length);
break;
case 'base':
// Warning: maxLength not taken into account in baseWrite
ret = this.baseWrite(string, offset, length);
break;
case 'ucs2':
case 'ucs-2':
case 'utf16le':
case 'utf-16le':
ret = this.ucs2Write(string, offset, length);
break;
default:
throw new TypeError('Unknown encoding: ' + encoding);
}
return ret;
};
