Export_int(b, x) converts each integer element of array x into a sequence of 4 bytes in array b.

Export_real(b, x) converts each double-precision floating-point element of array x into a sequence of 8 bytes in array b.

Export_real32(b, x) converts each double-precision floating-point element of array x to a single-precision value, then encodes it as a sequence of 4 bytes in array b.

Each import_T operation reverses the transformation of the corresponding export_T operation, converting an array of bytes containing a sequence of external representations into an array of values of the appropriate internal form.

Values are encoded in big-endian order (most significant byte first), with floating-point values represented in IEEE 32-bit or 64-bit form (again, most significant byte first).
