RawData
The RawData class in Mini Micro represents a buffer of raw bytes. Interpretation of these bytes is entirely up to the programmer.

Properties
| Property Name | Type | Default Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
littleEndian |
number (boolean) | true | whether multi-byte values are stored with least significant byte first |

ushort(self, offset=0) |

int(self, offset=0) |
get a signed 32-bit integer value |
setInt(self, offset=0, value=0) |
set a signed 32-bit integer value |
float(self, offset=0) |
get a 32-bit floating-point value |
setFloat(self, offset=0, value=0) |
set a 32-bit floating-point value |
double(self, offset=0) |
get a 64-bit floating-point value |
setDouble(self, offset=0, value=0) |
set a 64-bit floating-point value |
utf8(self, offset=0, bytes=-1) |
get a string of ASCII or UTF-8 text |
setUtf8(self, offset=0, value="") |
set a string as UTF-8; return number of bytes written |
Notes
The getter and setter methods accept offset argument which, as with string and list indexing, may be 0 .. (len-1) or -len .. -1 where the negative indexes mean offset from the end of data.
If offset (positive or negative) is out of range, an IndexError is raised. Same error is raised if the span of read or written bytes go beyond the data boundaries, with the exception of .setUtf8 that writes as much of its string value as possible and drops the rest.
