buffer.readUInt16LE()

buf.readUInt16LE(offset[, noAssert])

Reads an unsigned 16-bit integer from the Buffer at the specified offset with specified endian format (readInt32BE() returns big endian, readInt32LE() returns little endian).

Setting noAssert to true skips validation of the offset. This allows the offset to be beyond the end of the Buffer.

Example:

const buf = Buffer.from([0x3, 0x4, 0x23, 0x42]);

buf.readUInt16BE(0);
  // Returns: 0x0304
buf.readUInt16LE(0);
  // Returns: 0x0403
buf.readUInt16BE(1);
  // Returns: 0x0423
buf.readUInt16LE(1);
  // Returns: 0x2304
buf.readUInt16BE(2);
  // Returns: 0x2342
buf.readUInt16LE(2);
  // Returns: 0x4223
