bytes->setSize

Changes byte stream size.

Target member

Signature

1bytes->setSize(num::integer)

Changes byte stream size.

bytes->setSize is called with member syntax on a receiver value. bytes->setSize works with binary values. Convert strings to bytes before byte-level hashing or encoding, then convert back to a string only for display or transport.

Parameters

num: Required value of type integer. Supply num positionally unless the signature shows a keyword form.

Examples

Basic call

1local(b) = bytes('abc')2#b->setSize(2)

The example keeps binary work on bytes and converts only when text output is needed.
