HarfBuzz-0.0 ▶ HarfBuzz ▶ buffer_serialize`Since 2.7.3`

buffer_serialize(
    buffer: buffer_t,
    start: number,
    end: number,
    font: font_t,
    format: buffer_serialize_format_t,
    flags: buffer_serialize_flags_t,
): [number, Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>, number]
Serializes buffer into a textual representation of its content, whether Unicode codepoints or glyph identifiers and positioning information. This is useful for showing the contents of the buffer, for example during debugging. See the documentation of hb_buffer_serialize_unicode() and hb_buffer_serialize_glyphs() for a description of the output format.
Parameters
- buffer: buffer_t
  an HarfBuzz.buffer_t buffer.
- start: number
  the first item in buffer to serialize.
- end: number
  the last item in buffer to serialize.
- font: font_t
  the HarfBuzz.font_t used to shape this buffer, needed to read glyph names and extents. If NULL, an empty font will be used.
- format: buffer_serialize_format_t
  the HarfBuzz.buffer_serialize_format_t to use for formatting the output.
- flags: buffer_serialize_flags_t
  the HarfBuzz.buffer_serialize_flags_t that control what glyph properties to serialize.
Returns [number, Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>, number]
The number of serialized items.
