This sample demonstrates data type serialization. The program demonstrates a fixed buffer style pickling and an incremental style pickling depending on the switches being used.
The implicit_handle primitive is used as the pickling handle.
With default switches, the program encodes data to a file. To decode data from the file, use -d switch.
