# Serial Read Buffer
|
|
|
|
Read the buffered serial data as a buffer.
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
serial.readBuffer(64);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Returns
|
|
|
|
* a Buffer containing input from the serial port. The length of the buffer may be smaller than the requested length.
|
|
|
|
## Remarks
|
|
|
|
If the desired number of characters are available, this will return a string with the expected size. Otherwise, the calling fiber sleeps until the desired number of characters have been read.
