The best way I've found so far is to use DataInput/Output streams.
http://www.roojs.com/seed/gir-1.2-gtk-3.0/gjs/Gio.DataInputStream.html
This is an example of some code that writes binary arrays.
writeBinaryArray : function (path, stringAr) {
var f = Gio.file_new_for_path(String(path));
var data_out = new Gio.DataOutputStream({base_stream:f.replace(null,
false, Gio.FileCreateFlags.NONE, null)});
for(var i =0; i < stringAr.length; i++) {
data_out.put_byte(stringAr[i], null);
if (i % 10000 == 0) {
print("wrote " + i + "/" + stringAr.length + "\n");
}
}
data_out.close(null);
},
With a bit of guesswork, you should be able to create an dataInputstream and
use the get_byte() method.
