17 ### Read/write IEEE754 floating point numbers from/to a Buffer or array-like object.
27 `var ieee754 = require('ieee754')`
29 The `ieee754` object has the following functions:
32 ieee754.read = function (buffer, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)
33 ieee754.write = function (buffer, value, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)
36 The arguments mean the following:
39 - offset = offset into the buffer
40 - value = value to set (only for `write`)
41 - isLe = is little endian?
42 - mLen = mantissa length
43 - nBytes = number of bytes
47 The IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754) is a technical standard for floating-point computation. [Read more](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating_point).
