:mrdocs:

Write an array of two‐byte signed integers to this stream.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bslx_testoutstream.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
xref:BloombergLP/bslx/TestOutStream.adoc[TestOutStream]&
putArrayInt16(
    short const* values,
    int numValues);
----

== Description

Write to this stream the one‐byte type indicator for a two‐byte integer, the four‐byte, two's complement integer (in network byte order) comprised of the least‐significant four bytes of the specified `numValues` (in host byte order), and the consecutive two‐byte, two's complement integers (in network byte order) comprised of the least‐significant two bytes of each of the `numValues` leading entries in the specified `values` (in host byte order), and return a reference to this stream. If this stream is initially invalid, this operation has no effect. If the next output operation has been set to be marked invalid (see `makeNextInvalid`), reset this marking and emit the invalid indicator instead of the type indicator. The behavior is undefined unless `0 <= numValues` and `values` has sufficient contents.

== Return Value

a reference to this stream

== Parameters
