:mrdocs:

Set the length of this blob to the specified `length` and, if `length` is greater than its total size, grow this blob by appending buffers allocated using this object's underlying `BlobBufferFactory`. The behavior is undefined if `length` is a negative value, or if the new length requires growing the blob and this blob has no underlying factory.
