"Functions to convert between Python values and C structs.\n\
Python strings are used to hold the data representing the C struct\n\
and also as format strings to describe the layout of data in the C struct.\n\
"Functions to convert between Python values and C structs represented\n\
as Python strings. It uses format strings (explained below) as compact\n\
descriptions of the lay-out of the C structs and the intended conversion\n\
to/from Python values.\n\

The optional first format char indicates byte order, size and alignment:\n\
@: native order, size & alignment (default)\n\
=: native order, std. size & alignment\n\
<: little-endian, std. size & alignment\n\
>: big-endian, std. size & alignment\n\

\n\
The remaining chars indicate types of args and must match exactly;\n\
these can be preceded by a decimal repeat count:\n\
x: pad byte (no data); c:char; b:signed byte; B:unsigned byte;\n\
?: _Bool (requires C99; if not available, char is used instead)\n\
h:short; H:unsigned short; i:int; I:unsigned int;\n\
l:long; L:unsigned long; f:float; d:double.\n\
Special cases (preceding decimal count indicates length):\n\
