/**
* Top-level itnerface function to pack one or more values into a
* buffer.
*
* The pack function packs one or more values of a specified type into
* the specified buffer. The buffer must have already been
* initialized via an OBJ_NEW or OBJ_CONSTRUCT call - otherwise, the
* pack_value function will return an error. Providing an unsupported
* type flag will likewise be reported as an error.
*
* Note that any data to be packed that is not hard type cast (i.e.,
* not type cast to a specific size) may lose precision when unpacked
* by a non-homogeneous recipient. The DPS will do its best to deal
* with heterogeneity issues between the packer and unpacker in such
* cases. Sending a number larger than can be handled by the recipient
* will return an error code (generated by the DPS upon unpacking) via
* the RML upon transmission - the DPS cannot detect such errors
* during packing.
*
* @param *buffer A pointer to the buffer into which the value is to
* be packed.
*
* @param *src A void* pointer to the data that is to be packed. Note
* that strings are to be passed as (char **) - i.e., the caller must
* pass the address of the pointer to the string as the void*. This
* allows the DPS to use a single interface function, but still allow
* the caller to pass multiple strings in a single call.
*
* @param num A size_t value indicating the number of values that are
* to be packed, beginning at the location pointed to by src. A string
* value is counted as a single value regardless of length. The values
* must be contiguous in memory. Arrays of pointers (e.g., string
* arrays) should be contiguous, although (obviously) the data pointed
* to need not be contiguous across array entries.
*
* @param type The type of the data to be packed - must be one of the
* DPS defined data types.
*
* @retval ORTE_SUCCESS The data was packed as requested.
*
* @retval ORTE_ERROR(s) An appropriate ORTE error code indicating the
* problem encountered. This error code should be handled
* appropriately.
*
* @code
* orte_buffer_t *buffer;
* int32_t src;

/**
* Unpack values from a buffer.
*
* The unpack function unpacks the next value (or values) of a
* specified type from the specified buffer.
*
* The buffer must have already been initialized via an OBJ_NEW or
* OBJ_CONSTRUCT call (and assumedly filled with some data) -
* otherwise, the unpack_value function will return an
* error. Providing an unsupported type flag will likewise be reported
* as an error, as will specifying a data type that DOES NOT match the
* type of the next item in the buffer. An attempt to read beyond the
* end of the stored data held in the buffer will also return an
* error.
*
* NOTE: it is possible for the buffer to be corrupted and that
* the DPS will *think* there is a proper variable type at the
* beginning of an unpack region - but that the value is bogus (e.g., just
* a byte field in a string array that so happens to have a value that
* matches the specified data type flag). Therefore, the data type error check
* is NOT completely safe. This is true for ALL unpack functions.
*
*
* Unpacking values is a "destructive" process - i.e., the values are
* removed from the buffer, thus reducing the buffer size. It is
* therefore not possible for the caller to re-unpack a value from the
* same buffer.
*
* Warning: The caller is responsible for providing adequate memory
* storage for the requested data. The orte_dps_peek() function is
* provided to assist in meeting this requirement. As noted below, the user
* must provide a parameter indicating the maximum number of values that
* can be unpacked into the allocated memory. If more values exist in the
* buffer than can fit into the memory storage, then the dps will unpack
* what it can fit into that location and return an error code indicating
* that the buffer was only partially unpacked.
*
* Note that any data that was not hard type cast (i.e., not type cast
* to a specific size) when packed may lose precision when unpacked by
* a non-homogeneous recipient. The DPS will do its best to deal with
* heterogeneity issues between the packer and unpacker in such
* cases. Sending a number larger than can be handled by the recipient
* will return an error code (generated by the DPS upon unpacking) via
* the RML upon transmission - the DPS cannot detect such errors
* during packing.
*
* @param *buffer A pointer to the buffer from which the value will be
* extracted.
*
* @param *dest A void* pointer to the memory location into which the
* data is to be stored. Note that these values will be stored
* contiguously in memory. For strings, this pointer must be to (char
* **) to provide a means of supporting multiple string
* operations. The DPS unpack function will allocate memory for each
* string in the array - the caller must only provide adequate memory
* for the array of pointers.
*
* @param *num A pointer to a size_t value indicating the maximum
* number of values that are to be unpacked, beginning at the location
* pointed to by src. This is provided to help protect the caller from
* memory overrun. Note that a string
* value is counted as a single value regardless of length.
*
* @note The unpack function will return the actual number of values
* unpacked in this location.
*
* @param type The type of the data to be unpacked - must be one of
* the DPS defined data types.
*
* @retval *max_num_values The number of values actually unpacked. In
* most cases, this should match the maximum number provided in the
* parameters - but in no case will it exceed the value of this
* parameter. Note that if you unpack fewer values than are actually
* available, the buffer will be in an unpackable state - the dps will
* return an error code to warn of this condition.
*
* @retval ORTE_SUCCESS The next item in the buffer was successfully
* unpacked.
*
* @retval ORTE_ERROR(s) The unpack function returns an error code
* under one of several conditions: (a) the number of values in the
* item exceeds the max num provided by the caller; (b) the type of
* the next item in the buffer does not match the type specified by
* the caller; or (c) the unpack failed due to either an error in the
* buffer or an attempt to read past the end of the buffer.
*

/**
* Unload the data payload from a buffer.
*
* The unload function provides the caller with a pointer to the data
* payload within the buffer and the size of that payload. This allows
* the user to directly access the payload - typically used in the RML
* to unload the payload from the buffer for transmission.
*
* @note This is a destructive operation. While the payload is
* undisturbed, the function will clear the buffer's pointers to the
* payload. Thus, the buffer and the payload are completely separated,
* leaving the caller free to OBJ_RELEASE the buffer.

* structs can use calls to orte_dps.pack()/unpack() to serialize /
