These parameters are integers between 0 and 255 or hexadecimals between 0x00 and 0xFF.

Return Values

Warning

This function may return Boolean false, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to false. Please read the section on Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function.
