Write typeclass.
Defines a class of writeable (serializable) values. See module Read for more information concerning when and why to use this module.

'a tcreate <minimal-implementation> creates a writable instance from a provided minimal implementation.
The minimal implementation is either of:
to_bytes;to_bigstring;pp.val size : 'a t -> 'a -> intsize writebale value returns a size in bytes that writeable will use to write value
val to_channel : 'a t -> Core_kernel.Out_channel.t -> 'a -> unitto_channel writeable out value writes the writable value into the channel chan
val to_formatter : 'a t -> Format.formatter -> 'a -> unitto_formatter writeable ppf value outputs the value into the formatter ppf
to_bytes writeable value serializes the value into bytes data type.
val to_bigstring : 'a t -> 'a -> Core_kernel.bigstringto_bigstring writeable value serializes the value into bigstring data type.
blit_to_string writeable buf value pos copies a serialized representation of the value into existing string buf, starting from the given position. It is undefined behavior, if the value doesn't fit into the string buf.
use the blit_to_bytes instead
blit_to_bytes writeable buf value pos copies a serialized representation of the value into existing buffer buf, starting from the given position. It is undefined behavior, if the value doesn't fit into the buf
val blit_to_bigstring : 'a t -> Core_kernel.bigstring -> 'a -> int -> unitblit_to_bigstring writeable buf value pos copies a serialized representation of the value into existing bigstring buf, starting from the given position. It is undefined behavior, if the value doesn't fit into the string buf
