function qwordToByteTable(Number) : table

Converts a QWORD (8 bytes) to a byte table, interpreting it as an integer.


Note: If the number is a float only the integer no greater than or no less than the given value will be used.

Same as value from 'math.floor'.

 i.e.: 8.1 : 8, 8.9 : 8, -8.1 : -8, -8.9 : -8


Note: If the number is larger than a QWORD (8 bytes) only the lower portion of the number will be used.

 i.e.: 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00 : 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00
         8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0      7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
