    const SubBytes: TIdBytes; 
    const SBytes: TIdBytes
): integer;

Parameters

Parameters	Description
SubBytes	Byte value to locate.
SBytes	Byte values to be searched.

Returns

Integer - Position of SubBytes in the SBytes byte values.

Description

PosBytes is an Integer function used to indicates the position where bytes values in SubBytes appear in the source byte values indicated in SBytes.

The return value for the function is the offset position where SubBytes appears in SBytes and begins with the value 0 (zero). The return value will contain -1 if SubBytes cannot be located in the SBytes byte values.

PosBytes uses SameArray in its implementation to perform comparision of the byte values in SubBytes and SBytes.
