Description

Use to write one or more Boolean values to a file. This command accepts any number of Boolean arguments, including arrays.

The following list shows the different cast types. Note that data can be lost when casting. 'Signed' means the value can be negative. 'Unsigned' means value will always be positive.

Cast	Description
`"c"`	Writes Boolean as a signed character, or a signed 8 bit (1 byte) value
`"uc"`	Writes Boolean as an unsigned character, or a unsigned 8 bit (1 byte) value
`"s"`	Writes Boolean as a signed short integer, or a signed 16 bit (2 bytes) value
`"us"`	Writes Boolean as an unsigned short integer, or an unsigned 16 bit (2 bytes) value
`"i"`	Writes Boolean as a signed integer, or a signed 32 bit (4 bytes) value
`"ui"`	Writes Boolean as an unsigned integer, or an unsigned 32 bit (4 bytes) value
`"f"`	Writes Boolean as a floating point value, a 32 bit (4 byte) value
