It has the following methods, supported mainly for internal use by the
marshalling/unmarshalling code:
The primary acess to the content of a \class{Binary} object is
provided by an attribute:
\begin{methoddesc}{decode}{string}
\begin{memberdesc}[Binary]{data}
The binary data encapsulated by the \class{Binary} instance. The data
is provided as an 8-bit string.
\end{memberdesc}
\class{Binary} objects have the following methods, supported mainly
for internal use by the marshalling/unmarshalling code:
\begin{methoddesc}[Binary]{decode}{string}
Accept a base64 string and decode it as the instance's new data.
\end{methoddesc}
\begin{methoddesc}{encode}{out}
\begin{methoddesc}[Binary]{encode}{out}
Write the XML-RPC base 64 encoding of this binary item to the out

\end{methoddesc}
