Unpacks the binary data at binaryAddr into its original datatype, as indicated by the binaryType, and puts the result into valueAddr.
|
| Returns |

If the binaryType of the value at binaryAddr is not one of Frontier's standard datatypes, or if the packed binary data does not correspond to that datatype, an error will occur.
