What is this?

This a node.js library written in pure javascript that can be used to check if the given value is a "binary buffer".

Usage

You can add this library to your node.js application using node's require() system with the following line of code:

var fs = require('fs');
var isBinary = require('is-binary-buffer');
 
console.log(isBinary('foo'));             
console.log(isBinary(new Buffer('foo'))); 
//=> false
 
console.log(isBinary(fs.readFileSync('some-image.jpg'))); 
console.log(isBinary(fs.readFileSync('some-image.gif'))); 
//=> true

Attribution

Based on the code from isbinaryfile, which only reads from the file system. If the file doesn't exist, is a directory, or is empty, the function returns false.
