    Make a copy of the writable object using serialization to a buffer
    
    Parameters:

public static void writeVInt(DataOutput stream,
                             int i)
                      throws IOException
```
    Serializes an integer to a binary stream with zero-compressed encoding. For -112 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used with the actual value. For other values of i, the first byte value indicates whether the integer is positive or negative, and the number of bytes that follow. If the first byte value v is between -113 and -116, the following integer is positive, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+112). If the first byte value v is between -121 and -124, the following integer is negative, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+120). Bytes are stored in the high-non-zero-byte-first order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stream - Binary output stream
    
    i - Integer to be serialized
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException

```
    Serializes a long to a binary stream with zero-compressed encoding. For -112 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used with the actual value.
