* `string` {string} String to write to `buf`.
* `offset` {integer} Number of bytes to skip before starting to write `string`.
**Default:** `0`.
* `length` {integer} Maximum number of bytes to write. **Default:**
`buf.length - offset`.
* `length` {integer} Maximum number of bytes to write (written bytes will not
exceed `buf.length - offset`). **Default:** `buf.length - offset`.
If the buffer has sufficient space from the offset, the string is written
up to `length`. If the buffer is short in space, only `buf.length - offset`
bytes are written.
