Buffer class
Description
A Buffer is an object containing a pointer to a piece of
contiguous memory with a particular size.
Factory
buffer() lets you create an arrow::Buffer from an R object
Methods
-
$is_mutable : is this buffer mutable?
-
$ZeroPadding() : zero bytes in padding, i.e. bytes between size and capacity
-
$size : size in memory, in bytes
-
$capacity: possible capacity, in bytes
Examples
my_buffer <- buffer(c(1, 2, 3, 4))
my_buffer$is_mutable
my_buffer$ZeroPadding()
my_buffer$size
my_buffer$capacity
