Dear all,
currently, I am trying to talk to other applications via some
communication protocol (more specifically, it is OpenSound Control,
see http://www.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OpenSoundControl/). The syntax of
this protocol requires that I send/receive data of formats such as 32-
bit integer (big-endian) and 32-bit floats (big-endian). The
communication itself happens via sockets.
Oz floats are internally 64 bits (according to CTM). Their print
representation (Float.toString) is less, but not fixed in size (BTW:
it does not use Oz syntax, the negation sign is - instead of ~). Oz
integers can be of any size. I assume BitArray or BitString don't
help me either, because I can not output them. Also, ByteString is
intended for textual data.
Any idea how I can control the size of integers and floats send
across a socket?
Thank you!
Best
Torsten
