{{alias}}( size )
    Returns an array buffer having a specified number of bytes.

    Buffer contents are initialized to 0.

    Parameters
    ----------
    size: integer
        Number of bytes.

    Returns
    -------
    out: ArrayBuffer
        An array buffer.

    Examples
    --------
    > var buf = new {{alias}}( 5 )
    <ArrayBuffer>


{{alias}}.length
    Number of input arguments the constructor accepts.

    Examples
    --------
    > {{alias}}.length
    1


{{alias}}.isView( arr )
    Returns a boolean indicating if provided an array buffer view.

    Parameters
    ----------
    arr: any
        Value to test.

    Returns
    -------
    bool: boolean
        Boolean indicating if an input argument is a buffer view.

    Examples
    --------
    > var arr = new {{alias:@stdlib/array/float64}}( 10 );
    > {{alias}}.isView( arr )
    true


{{alias}}.prototype.byteLength
    Read-only property which returns the length (in bytes) of the array buffer.

    Examples
    --------
    > var buf = new {{alias}}( 5 );
    > buf.byteLength
    5


{{alias}}.prototype.slice( [start[, end]] )
    Copies the bytes of an array buffer to a new array buffer.

    Parameters
    ----------
    start: integer (optional)
        Index at which to start copying buffer contents (inclusive). If
        negative, the index is relative to the end of the buffer.

    end: integer (optional)
        Index at which to stop copying buffer contents (exclusive). If negative,
        the index is relative to the end of the buffer.

    Returns
    -------
    out: ArrayBuffer
        A new array buffer whose contents have been copied from the calling
        array buffer.

    Examples
    --------
    > var b1 = new {{alias}}( 10 );
    > var b2 = b1.slice( 2, 6 );
    > var bool = ( b1 === b2 )
    false
    > b2.byteLength
    4
