        Outputs binary data using MPI-IO to several files starting with prefix.
        Suffixes are:

        - head: Information about fields that are dumped,
        - pref: Information about processes: 1 int per process,
        - id: Particle ids: 1 int per particle,
        - pos: Position information (if dumped): 3 doubles per particle,
        - vel: Velocity information (if dumped): 3 doubles per particle,
        - typ: Type information (if dumped): 1 int per particle,
        - bond: Bond information (if dumped): variable amount of data,
        - boff: Bond offset information (if bonds are dumped): 1 int per particle.

            Do not read the files on a machine with a different architecture!

        Parameters
        ----------
        prefix : :obj:`str`
            Common prefix for the filenames.
        positions : :obj:`bool`, optional
            Indicates if positions should be dumped.
        velocities : :obj:`bool`, optional
            Indicates if velocities should be dumped.
        types : :obj:`bool`, optional
            Indicates if types should be dumped.
        bonds : :obj:`bool`, optional
            Indicates if bonds should be dumped.

        Raises
        ------
        ValueError
            If no prefix was given or none of the output fields are chosen.
