  17 ### Read/write IEEE754 floating point numbers from/to a Buffer or array-like object.
  18
  19 ## install
  20
  21 ```
  22 npm install ieee754
  23 ```
  24
  25 ## methods
  26
  27 `var ieee754 = require('ieee754')`
  28
  29 The `ieee754` object has the following functions:
  30
  31 ```
  32 ieee754.read = function (buffer, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)
  33 ieee754.write = function (buffer, value, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)
  34 ```
  35
  36 The arguments mean the following:
  37
  38 - buffer = the buffer
  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
  44
  45 ## what is ieee754?
  46
  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).
