- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P
body: Packs the contents of <em>arr</em> into a binary sequence according to the directives in <em>aTemplateString</em> (see the table below) Directives ``A,'' ``a,'' and ``Z'' may be followed by a count, which gives the width of the resulting field. The remaining directives also may take a count, indicating the number of array elements to convert. If the count is an asterisk (``<tt>*</tt>''), all remaining array elements will be converted. Any of the directives ``<tt>sSiIlL</tt>'' may be followed by an underscore (``<tt>_</tt>'') to use the underlying platform's native size for the specified type; otherwise, they use a platform-independent size. Spaces are ignored in the template string. See also <tt>String#unpack</tt>.
