* This interface allows writing of primitive data types (integers,

* fixed-endianness format. This might be used, for example, to implement
* network protocols or to produce architecture-neutral binary disk files,

* platforms. Output is written in big-endian order (high-order byte first),
* as this is traditional network order.
