Write to a buffer a value of type at offset. type should be one of symbols described in get_value.
Example
buffer = IO::Buffer.new(8) # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x0000555f5c9a2d50+8 INTERNAL> # 0x00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 buffer.set_value(:U8, 1, 111) # => 1 buffer # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x0000555f5c9a2d50+8 INTERNAL> # 0x00000000 00 6f 00 00 00 00 00 00 .o......
Note that if the type is integer and value is Float, the implicit truncation is performed:
Example
buffer = IO::Buffer.new(8) buffer.set_value(:U32, 0, 2.5) buffer # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x0000555f5c9a2d50+8 INTERNAL> # 0x00000000 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 # ^^ the same as if we'd pass just integer 2
