SYNOPSIS

Binary createBlock( Int bsize )

ARGUMENTS

bsize The size of the block. Block sizes cannot be changed once the block is created.

DESCRIPTION

Create a new, uninitialised block for binary data. Remember to use Builtins.byteLength (3kaya) instead of Builtins.length (3kaya) if you want to store Strings in these, as you may have problems with multi-byte characters otherwise.

The uninitialised contents of this block are not guaranteed to be zeroes.
