+=head1 NAME
+
+Crypt::OpenPGP::Buffer - Binary in/out buffer
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Crypt::OpenPGP::Buffer;
+
+    my $n = PARI( 1 );
+    
+    my $buf = Crypt::OpenPGP::Buffer->new;
+    $buf->put_mp_int($n);
+
+    my $m = $buf->get_mp_int;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+I<Crypt::OpenPGP::Buffer> subclasses the I<Data::Buffer> class to
+provide binary in/out buffer capabilities for I<Crypt::OpenPGP>. In
+addition to the standard I<Data::Buffer> methods, this class adds
+methods to get and put multiple-precision integers (I<Math::Pari>
+objects).
+
+A PGP multiple precision integer is stored in two pieces: a two-octet
+scalar representing the length of the integer in bits, followed by
+a string of octets that is a serialized representation of the integer.
+
+=head1 USAGE
+
+As I<Crypt::OpenPGP::Buffer> subclasses I<Data::Buffer> there is no
+need to reproduce the entire documentation of the latter module. Thus
+this usage section will include only the methods added by
+I<Crypt::OpenPGP::Buffer>.
+
+=head2 $buf->get_mp_int
+
+Grabs a multiple-precision integer from the buffer I<$buf> (starting
+after the current offset position in the buffer) and returns that
+integer.
+
+=head2 $buf->put_mp_int($n)
+
+Serializes a multiple-precision integer into the buffer in the above
+form (two-octet bitsize, string of octets).
