Byte Array Objects¶

type PyByteArrayObject¶: This subtype of PyObject represents a Python bytearray object.

PyTypeObject PyByteArray_Type¶: Part of the Stable ABI.
This instance of PyTypeObject represents the Python bytearray type; it is the same object as bytearray in the Python layer.

Type check macros¶

int PyByteArray_Check(PyObject *o)¶: Return true if the object o is a bytearray object or an instance of a subtype of the bytearray type. This function always succeeds.

int PyByteArray_CheckExact(PyObject *o)¶: Return true if the object o is a bytearray object, but not an instance of a subtype of the bytearray type. This function always succeeds.

PyObject *PyByteArray_FromObject(PyObject *o)¶

Return value: New reference. Part of the Stable ABI.

Return a new bytearray object from any object, o, that implements the buffer protocol.

On failure, return NULL with an exception set.

PyObject *PyByteArray_FromStringAndSize(const char *string, Py_ssize_t len)¶

Return value: New reference. Part of the Stable ABI.

Create a new bytearray object from string and its length, len.

On failure, return NULL with an exception set.

PyObject *PyByteArray_Concat(PyObject *a, PyObject *b)¶

Return value: New reference. Part of the Stable ABI.

Concat bytearrays a and b and return a new bytearray with the result.

On failure, return NULL with an exception set.

Py_ssize_t PyByteArray_Size(PyObject *bytearray)¶: Part of the Stable ABI.
Return the size of bytearray after checking for a NULL pointer.
