{{alias}}( buffer[, byteOffset[, byteLength]] )
    Returns a data view representing a provided array buffer.

    Parameters
    ----------
    buffer: ArrayBuffer|SharedArrayBuffer
        Array buffer.

    byteOffset: integer (optional)
        Offset (in bytes) to the first byte in the array buffer for the new view
        to reference. Default: 0.

    byteLength: integer (optional)
        Number of elements in the byte array. If not provided, the view's length
        will equal the buffer's length.

    Returns
    -------
    out: DataView
        A data view.

    Examples
    --------
    > var buf = new {{alias:@stdlib/array/buffer}}( 5 )
    <ArrayBuffer>
    > var dv = new {{alias}}( buf )
    <DataView>


{{alias}}.prototype.buffer
    Read-only property which returns the underyling array buffer.

    Examples
    --------
    > var buf1 = new {{alias:@stdlib/array/buffer}}( 5 );
    > var dv = new {{alias}}( buf1 );
    > var buf2 = dv.buffer
    <ArrayBuffer>
    > var b = ( buf1 === buf2 )
    true


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

    Examples
    --------
    > var buf = new {{alias:@stdlib/array/buffer}}( 5 );
    > var dv = new {{alias}}( buf );
    > dv.byteLength
    5


{{alias}}.prototype.byteOffset
    Read-only property which returns the offset (in bytes) of the view to the
    start of the underlying array buffer.

    Examples
    --------
    > var buf = new {{alias:@stdlib/array/buffer}}( 5 );
    > var dv = new {{alias}}( buf, 2 );
    > dv.byteLength
    3
    > dv.byteOffset
    2
