These functions read/write data to/from the buffer in the ``external32'' data
format specified in Section External Data Representation: ``external32''
, and calculate the size needed
for packing. Their first arguments specify the data format, for future
extensibility, but for MPI-2 the only valid value of the datarep
argument is ``external32.''
[] Advice to users.
These functions could be used, for example, to send typed data in a portable
format from one MPI implementation to another.
( End of advice to users.)
The buffer will contain exactly the packed data, without headers.
