   PetscBinaryRead - Reads from a binary file.

   Input Parameters:

   PetscBinaryWrite - Writes to a binary file.

   Not Collective

   Input Parameters:
+  fd     - the file
.  p      - the buffer
.  n      - the number of items to write
-  type   - the type of items to read (PETSC_INT, PETSC_DOUBLE or PETSC_SCALAR)

   Level: advanced

   Notes:
   PetscBinaryWrite() uses byte swapping to work on all machines; the files
   are written using big-endian ordering to the file. On little-endian machines the numbers
   are converted to the big-endian format when they are written to disk.
   When PETSc is ./configure with --with-64-bit-indices the integers are written to the
   file as 64 bit integers, this means they can only be read back in when the option --with-64-bit-indices
   is used.

   If running with __float128 precision the output is in __float128 unless one uses the -binary_write_double option

   The Buffer p should be read-write buffer, and not static data.
   This way, byte-swapping is done in-place, and then the buffer is
   written to the file.

   This routine restores the original contents of the buffer, after
   it is written to the file. This is done by byte-swapping in-place
   the second time.

   Because byte-swapping may be done on the values in data it cannot be declared const

/*@C
   PetscBinarySynchronizedWrite - writes to a binary file.

   Collective

   Input Parameters:
+  comm - the MPI communicator
.  fd - the file
.  n  - the number of items to write
.  p - the buffer
-  type - the type of items to write (PETSC_INT, PETSC_DOUBLE or PETSC_SCALAR)

   Level: developer

   Notes:
   Process 0 does a PetscBinaryWrite()

   PetscBinarySynchronizedWrite() uses byte swapping to work on all machines.
   Integers are stored on the file as 32 long, regardless of whether
   they are stored in the machine as 32 or 64, this means the same
   binary file may be read on any machine.

   Notes:
    because byte-swapping may be done on the values in data it cannot be declared const

   WARNING: This is NOT like PetscSynchronizedFPrintf()! This routine ignores calls on all but process 0,
   while PetscSynchronizedFPrintf() has all processes print their strings in order.

/*@C
   PetscBinarySynchronizedSeek - Moves the file pointer on a PETSc binary file.


   Input Parameters:
+  fd - the file
.  whence - if PETSC_BINARY_SEEK_SET then size is an absolute location in the file
            if PETSC_BINARY_SEEK_CUR then size is offset from current location
            if PETSC_BINARY_SEEK_END then size is offset from end of file
-  off    - number of bytes to move. Use PETSC_BINARY_INT_SIZE, PETSC_BINARY_SCALAR_SIZE,
            etc. in your calculation rather than sizeof() to compute byte lengths.

   Output Parameter:
.   offset - new offset in file

   Level: developer

   Notes:
   Integers are stored on the file as 32 long, regardless of whether
   they are stored in the machine as 32 or 64, this means the same
   binary file may be read on any machine. Hence you CANNOT use sizeof()
   to determine the offset or location.
