Pokes a new value into a binary buffer at offset returning the previous value.
BinaryPoke( handle, offset, value ) Pokes an 8 bit value.
BinaryPoke2( handle, offset, value ) Pokes a 16-bit value.
BinaryPoke4( handle, offset, value ) Pokes a 32-bit value.
BinaryPoke8( handle, offset, value ) Pokes a 64-bit integer or huge number value.
BinaryPokeFlt( handle, offset, value ) Pokes a 64 bit floating point number.
(i) handle: handle of buffer.
(i) offset: zero-based offset in the buffer to obtain byte from.
(i) value: value to store.
(i) previous value.
This function pokes a value into the binary buffer at the offset specified.
binbuf=BinaryAlloc(10)
BinaryPoke( binbuf, 5, -14 ) ;Pokes a new value into the buffer.
a=BinaryPeek( binbuf, 5 ) ;Finds the value of a byte.
Message("Hmmm", "Returned value is %a%" )
; Value will be 242 which is (256 - 14). 242 and -14 map
; to the same 8bit number.
