This command provides facilities for manipulating binary data. The
first form, \fBbinary format\fR, creates a binary string from normal
-Tcl values. For example, given the values 16 and 22, it might produce
-an 8-byte binary string consisting of two 4-byte integers, one for
-each of the numbers. The second form of the command,
-\fBbinary scan\fR, does the opposite: it extracts data from a binary
-string and returns it as ordinary Tcl string values.
