+.SH "SYNOPSIS"

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The
+.BR libcoopgamma_context_marshal ()
+function marshals
+.I this
+into a
+.I buffer
+that can be sent to another process on any computer
+with a compatible processor. A compatible processor
+is any processor with the same endianness, encoding
+and sizes of the intrinsic data types and
+.IR size_t .
+However, it is probably nonsensical to send the
+marshalled data to any other process than the
+process itself since it contains a file descriptor.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+The
+.BR libcoopgamma_context_marshal ()
+returns the number of bytes stored in the
+.IR buffer ,
+or if
+.I buffer
+is
+.IR NULL ,
+the the number of bytes that would have
+been written if it was not
+.IR NULL .
+The function is always successful.
