     37 ## Usage
     38 
     39 ```javascript
     40 var array2buffer = require( '@stdlib/buffer/from-array' );
     41 ```
     42 
     43 #### array2buffer( arr )
     44 
     45 Allocates a [buffer][@stdlib/buffer/ctor] using an `array` (or array-like `object`) of octets.
     46 
     47 ```javascript
     48 var buf = array2buffer( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );
     49 // returns <Buffer>[ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
