* `value` String, Buffer or Number
* `byteOffset` Number, Optional, Default: 0
* `encoding` String, Optional, Default: `utf8`
* Return: Number
Operates similar to [`Array#indexOf()`][] in that it returns either the
starting index position of `value` in Buffer or `-1` if the Buffer does not
contain `value`. The `value` can be a String, Buffer or Number. Strings are
interpreted as UTF8. Buffers will use the entire Buffer (to compare a partial
Buffer use [`Buffer#slice()`][]). Numbers can range from 0 to 255.
