# load(fromByteOffset:as:)

Returns a value constructed from the raw memory at the specified offset.

```
func load<T>(fromByteOffset offset: Int, as type: T.Type) -> T where T : ConvertibleFromBytes
```

## Parameters

`offset`

The offset from the beginning of this span, in bytes.
`offset` must be nonnegative.

`type`

The type of the instance to create.

## Return Value

A new value of type `T`, read from `offset`.

## Discussion

The range of bytes required to construct a value of type `T` starting at
`offset` must be completely within the span.
`offset` is not required to be aligned for `T`.
