bdelete (buffer, position, length?)
A buffer.
The position of the first byte to delete. A number between 0 and the length of the buffer minus 1.
An optional number of bytes to delete. The default is 1. A negative number deletes all bytes to the end. A value of 0 does nothing.
The number contained at the specified position in the buffer, or nil if the buffer is undefined at the given position.
This function deletes a specified number of bytes from a raw memory buffer. The buffer length does not change as a result of this function. A zero character is placed at the empty position at the end of the buffer, then the buffer is collapsed.
