-"""
-Functions to convert between Python values and C structs.
-Python strings are used to hold the data representing the C struct
-and also as format strings 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;
- h:short; H:unsigned short; i:int; I:unsigned int;
- l:long; L:unsigned long; f:float; d:double.
-Special cases (preceding decimal count indicates length):
- s:string (array of char); p: pascal string (with count byte).
-Special case (only available in native format):
- P:an integer type that is wide enough to hold a pointer.
-Special case (not in native mode unless 'long long' in platform C):
- q:long long; Q:unsigned long long
-Whitespace between formats is ignored.
-
-The variable struct.error is an exception raised on errors.
