Reading and writing binary data portably.
Briefly

Binary files can be made portable using two's complement integers for handling signed integers and IEEE 754 for floating-point numbers, with precautions for special cases like non-finite values. The approach is applicable in various languages with low-level binary IO capabilities.
Handling two's complement integers and IEEE 754 floating point numbers for portability in binary file operations requires reconstructing values and addressing special cases such as denormalized numbers, non-finite numbers, and NaN representations.
