Usage in Deno

```typescript import { type Buffer } from "node:node__buffer.d.ts"; ```
Buffer.readInt16LE(offset?: number): number
Reads a signed, little-endian 16-bit integer from `buf` at the specified`offset`. Integers read from a `Buffer` are interpreted as two's complement signed values. ```js import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer'; const buf = Buffer.from([0, 5]); console.log(buf.readInt16LE(0)); // Prints: 1280 console.log(buf.readInt16LE(1)); // Throws ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE. ```

Parameters

offset: number = 0
Number of bytes to skip before starting to read. Must satisfy `0 <= offset <= buf.length - 2`.
