NAME
struct
DESCRIPTION
Functions to convert between Python values and C structs.
Python bytes objects are used to hold the data representing the C struct
and also as format strings (explained below) to describe the layout of data
in the C struct.
The optional first format char indicates byte order, size and alignment:
@: native order, size & alignment (default)
=: native order, std. size & alignment
<: little-endian, std. size & alignment
>: big-endian, std. size & alignment
!: same as >
The remaining chars indicate types of args and must match exactly;
these can be preceded by a decimal repeat count:
x: pad byte (no data); c:char; b:signed byte; B:unsigned byte;
?: _Bool (requires C99; if not available, char is used instead)
h:short; H:unsigned short; i:int; I:unsigned int;
