For more details, see getI64Codec.

Parameters

Returns

FixedSizeDecoder<bigint, 8>

A FixedSizeDecoder<bigint, 8> for decoding i64 values.

Example

Decoding an i64 value.

const decoder = getI64Decoder();
const value = decoder.decode(new Uint8Array([
  0xd6, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff
])); // -42n
