"Functions to convert between Python values and C structs.\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\

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\
