Hex.Buffer.set_data
Description: Reference for Hex.Buffer.set_data

### Virtual Method

# Hex Bufferset_data

#### Declaration

    gboolean
    set_data (
      HexBuffer* self,
      gint64 offset,
      size_t len,
      size_t rep_len,
      char* data
    )

#### Description

Set data at of the buffer at a particular offset, replacing some, all or none of the existing data in the buffer as desired.

As `data` will be copied to the recipient, it should be freed with `g_free()` after being passed to this method, to avoid a memory leak.

#### Parameters

`offset` | `gint64`
| Offset position of the data being requested within the payload.
`len` | `size_t`
| Size in bytes of the input data being provided.
`rep_len` | `size_t`
| Amount of bytes to replace/overwrite (if any)
`data` | An array of `char`
| A pointer to the data being provided.
| The length of the array is specified in the `len` argument.
| The called function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
| Each element is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

#### Return value

Returns: | `gboolean`
| `TRUE` if the operation was successful; `FALSE` otherwise.
