comm - MPI communicator
name - name of file
mode - open mode of file
FILE_MODE_WRITE - create new file for binary output
FILE_MODE_READ - open existing file for binary input
FILE_MODE_APPEND - open existing file for binary output

-viewer_binary_filename
- name of file to use-viewer_binary_skip_info - true to skip opening an info file
-viewer_binary_skip_options - true to not use options database while creating viewer
-viewer_binary_skip_header - true to skip output object headers to the file

This PetscViewer should be destroyed with PetscViewerDestroy().

For creating files, if the file name ends with .gz it is automatically compressed when closed.
