  Specified by:
    `encode` in class `OtpErlangObject`
  Parameters:
    `buf` - an output stream to which the encoded term should be written.

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

  Description copied from class: `OtpErlangObject`

  Specified by:
    `equals` in class `OtpErlangObject`
  Parameters:
    `o` - the object to compare to.
  Returns:
    true if the objects are identical.

  Overrides:
    `doHashCode` in class `OtpErlangObject`

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Specified by:
    `toString` in class `OtpErlangObject`
  Returns:
    the printable representation of the object. This is usually similar to the representation used by Erlang for the same type of object.
