Usage

`javascript
var SharedArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array-shared-buffer' );
`

#### SharedArrayBuffer( size )

Returns a [SharedArrayBuffer][mdn-sharedarraybuffer] having a specified number of bytes.

`javascript
try {
var buf = new SharedArrayBuffer( 5 );
// returns
} catch ( err ) {
console.log( 'Environment does not support SharedArrayBuffers.' );
}
`

#### SharedArrayBuffer.length

Number of input arguments the constructor accepts.

`javascript
var len = SharedArrayBuffer.length;
// returns 1
`

#### SharedArrayBuffer.prototype.byteLength

Read-only property which returns the length (in bytes) of the [SharedArrayBuffer][mdn-sharedarraybuffer].

`javascript
try {
var buf = new SharedArrayBuffer( 5 );
var byteLength = buf.byteLength;
// returns 5
} catch ( err ) {
console.log( 'Environment does not support SharedArrayBuffers.' );
}

#### SharedArrayBuffer.prototype.slice( \[start\[, end]] )

Copies the bytes of a [SharedArrayBuffer][mdn-sharedarraybuffer] to a new [SharedArrayBuffer][mdn-sharedarraybuffer].

`javascript
try {
var b1 = new SharedArrayBuffer( 10 );

var b2 = b1.slice();
// returns

var bool = ( b2 === b1 );
// returns false
} catch ( err ) {
console.log( 'Environment does not support SharedArrayBuffers.' );
}
`

By default, the method copies from the beginning of the [SharedArrayBuffer][mdn-sharedarraybuffer]. To begin copying from a different byte index, provide a start argument, specifying the starting byte index (inclusive).

`javascript
try {
var b1 = new SharedArrayBuffer( 10 );
var b2 = b1.slice( 2 );

var nbytes = b2.byteLength;
// returns 8
} catch ( err ) {
console.log( 'Environment does not support SharedArrayBuffers.' );
}
`

If start < 0, the index is relative to the end of the [SharedArrayBuffer][mdn-sharedarraybuffer].

`javascript
try {
var b1 = new SharedArrayBuffer( 10 );
var b2 = b1.slice( -2 );

var nbytes = b2.byteLength;
// returns 2
} catch ( err ) {
console.log( 'Environment does not support SharedArrayBuffers.' );
}
`

By default, the method copies to the end of the [SharedArrayBuffer][mdn-sharedarraybuffer]. To copy until a particular byte index, provide an end index, specifying the ending byte index (exclusive).

`javascript
try {
var b1 = new SharedArrayBuffer( 10 );
var b2 = b1.slice( 2, 6 );

var nbytes = b2.byteLength;
// returns 4
} catch ( err ) {
console.log( 'Environment does not support SharedArrayBuffers.' );
}
`

If end < 0, the index is relative to the end of the [SharedArrayBuffer][mdn-sharedarraybuffer].

`javascript
try {
var b1 = new SharedArrayBuffer( 10 );
var b2 = b1.slice( 2, -2 );

var nbytes = b2.byteLength;
// returns 6
} catch ( err ) {
console.log( 'Environment does not support SharedArrayBuffers.' );
}
