Returns the twos-complement binary representation of an integer value as a binary value of a given size.

pack-integer($value as xs:integer, $size as xs:integer, $order as enum('least-significant-first', 'little-endian', 'LE', 'most-significant-first', 'big-endian', 'BE')?:='most-significant-first') ➔ xs:base64Binary

Arguments

	$size	xs:integer		The octet length to pack within
	$order	enum('least-significant-first', 'little-endian', 'LE', 'most-significant-first', 'big-endian', 'BE')?	:= 'most-significant-first'	The order (most/least significant first) in which to pack or unpack octets
