Coding functions
val buf_int8 : Buffer.t -> int -> unit
buf_int8 b i encodes a 8-bits integer i in the buffer b.
val buf_int16 : Buffer.t -> int -> unit
buf_int16 b i encodes a 16-bits integer i in the buffer b.
val buf_int31 : Buffer.t -> int -> unit
buf_int31 b i encodes a native 31-bits integer i in the buffer b.
val buf_int63 : Buffer.t -> int -> unit
buf_int63 b i encodes a native 63-bits integer i in the buffer b.
val buf_string31 : Buffer.t -> string -> unit
val buf_bool : Buffer.t -> bool -> unit
buf_bool b i encodes a boolean i in the buffer b.
val buf_float : Buffer.t -> float -> unit
buf_float b f encodes a floating-point number f in the buffer b.
val buf_int64 : Buffer.t -> Int64.t -> unit
buf_int64 b i encodes an int64 i in the buffer b.
val buf_list16 : (Buffer.t -> 'a -> unit) -> Buffer.t -> 'a list -> unit
buf_list16 f b l encodes the list l in the buffer b, with the function f specifying how to encode an item of l.
