:mrdocs:

Write the FIX representation of the specified `object` to the specified `buffer`. Optionally specify a `configuration` to affect the format of the generated string. If `configuration` is not supplied, the process‐wide default value `FixUtilConfiguration::defaultConfiguration()` is used. Return the number of characters in the formatted string. `buffer` is not null terminated. The behavior is undefined unless `buffer` has sufficient capacity. Note that a buffer of size `k_MAX_STRLEN + 1` is large enough to hold any string generated by this component (counting a null terminator, if any).
