var b1 = array2buffer( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );
// returns <Buffer>[ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
var b2 = copyBuffer( b1 );

## Examples
<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->
```javascript
var allocUnsafe = require( '@stdlib/buffer/alloc-unsafe' );
var copyBuffer = require( '@stdlib/buffer/from-buffer' );
var bool;
var b1;
var b2;
var i;
// Allocate a new buffer:
b1 = allocUnsafe( 10 );
// Generate a new buffer from the existing buffer:
b2 = copyBuffer( b1 );
bool = ( b2 === b1 );
// returns false
bool = ( b2.length === b1.length );
// returns true
for ( i = 0; i < b2.length; i++ ) {
console.log( b2[ i ] === b1[ i ] );
// => true
}
