// <synopsis>
// This class consists of several static functions to convert
// data from local (=native) format to a canonical format.
// The canonical length of each data type is:
// <br>- Bool: 1 bit
// <br>- char: 1 byte
// <br>- short: 2 bytes
// <br>- int: 4 bytes
// <br>- Int64: 8 bytes
// <br>- float: 4 bytes
// <br>- double: 8 bytes
// <br> The canonical format is big-endian IEEE format, so on many machines
// the conversion is only a copy operation. On Alpha- or Intel-based
// machines, however, it involves a byte swap to convert from little
// endian to big endian.
// <p>
// The class also contains conversion functions making it possible to
// specify the number of bytes (in local format) instead of the number
// of values. These functions are included to make it possible to have
// the same signature as memcpy.
// <p>
// The current implementation of this class works on big- and little-endian
// machines using IEEE format. When using on other machines (e.g. VAX)
// the toLocal and fromLocal functions have to be changed.
// <p>
// Note that no functions are provided to handle Bools. Instead class
// <linkto class=Conversion>Conversion</linkto> provides functions to
// convert Bools to/from bits.
// </synopsis>
 
// <example>
// <srcblock>
// void someFunction (const uInt* data, uInt nrval)
// {
//     char* buffer = new char[nrval*CanonicalConversion::canonicalSize(data)];
//     CanonicalConversion::fromLocal (buffer, data, nrval);
//     ....
//     delete [] buffer;
// }
// </srcblock>
// </example>
 
// <motivation>
// Casacore data will often be stored in a canonical format.
// To read these data conversion functions are needed.
// However, these functions do not use any other Casacore classes,
// so they can easily be used in any other software system.
// </motivation>
 
// <todo asof="$DATE$">
//  <li> Support data type long double.
