/><h2>Detailed Description</h2><p>This class can be pickled.</p><p>A Python string object
may be used whenever a
<a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>
is expected.</p>
<p>The QByteArray class provides an array of bytes.</p>
<p>QByteArray can be used to store both raw bytes (including '\0's)
and traditional 8-bit '\0'-terminated strings. Using QByteArray is
much more convenient than using <tt>const char *</tt>. Behind the
scenes, it always ensures that the data is followed by a '\0'
terminator, and uses <a href="implicit-sharing.html">implicit
sharing</a> (copy-on-write) to reduce memory usage and avoid
needless copying of data.</p>
<p>In addition to QByteArray, Qt also provides the <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> class to store string data. For most
purposes, <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> is the class you want
to use. It stores 16-bit Unicode characters, making it easy to
store non-ASCII/non-Latin-1 characters in your application.
Furthermore, <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> is used throughout
in the Qt API. The two main cases where QByteArray is appropriate
are when you need to store raw binary data, and when memory
conservation is critical (e.g., with Qt for Embedded Linux).</p>
<p>One way to initialize a QByteArray is simply to pass a <tt>const
char *</tt> to its constructor. For example, the following code
creates a byte array of size 5 containing the data "Hello":</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QByteArray</span> ba(<span class="string">"Hello"</span>);
</pre>
<p>Although the <a href="qbytearray.html#size">size</a>() is 5, the
byte array also maintains an extra '\0' character at the end so
that if a function is used that asks for a pointer to the
underlying data (e.g. a call to <a href="qbytearray.html#data">data</a>()), the data pointed to is
guaranteed to be '\0'-terminated.</p>
<p>QByteArray makes a deep copy of the <tt>const char *</tt> data,
so you can modify it later without experiencing side effects. (If
for performance reasons you don't want to take a deep copy of the
character data, use <a href="qbytearray.html#fromRawData">QByteArray.fromRawData</a>()
instead.)</p>
<p>Another approach is to set the size of the array using <a href="qbytearray.html#resize">resize</a>() and to initialize the data
byte per byte. QByteArray uses 0-based indexes, just like C++
arrays. To access the byte at a particular index position, you can
use operator[](). On non-const byte arrays, operator[]() returns a
reference to a byte that can be used on the left side of an
assignment. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QByteArray</span> ba;
ba<span class="operator">.</span>resize(<span class="number">5</span>);
ba<span class="operator">[</span><span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">]</span> <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0x3c</span>;
ba<span class="operator">[</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="operator">]</span> <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0xb8</span>;
ba<span class="operator">[</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="operator">]</span> <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0x64</span>;
ba<span class="operator">[</span><span class="number">3</span><span class="operator">]</span> <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0x18</span>;
ba<span class="operator">[</span><span class="number">4</span><span class="operator">]</span> <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0xca</span>;
</pre>
<p>For read-only access, an alternative syntax is to use <a href="qbytearray.html#at">at</a>():</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="keyword">for</span> (<span class="type">int</span> i <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0</span>; i <span class="operator"><</span> ba<span class="operator">.</span>size(); <span class="operator">+</span><span class="operator">+</span>i) {
<span class="keyword">if</span> (ba<span class="operator">.</span>at(i) <span class="operator">></span><span class="operator">=</span> <span class="char">'a'</span> <span class="operator">&</span><span class="operator">&</span> ba<span class="operator">.</span>at(i) <span class="operator"><</span><span class="operator">=</span> <span class="char">'f'</span>)
cout <span class="operator"><</span><span class="operator"><</span> <span class="string">"Found character in range [a-f]"</span> <span class="operator"><</span><span class="operator"><</span> endl;
}
</pre>
<p><a href="qbytearray.html#at">at</a>() can be faster than
operator[](), because it never causes a <a href="implicit-sharing.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> to occur.</p>
<p>To extract many bytes at a time, use <a href="qbytearray.html#left">left</a>(), <a href="qbytearray.html#right">right</a>(), or <a href="qbytearray.html#mid">mid</a>().</p>
<p>A QByteArray can embed '\0' bytes. The <a href="qbytearray.html#size">size</a>() function always returns the size
of the whole array, including embedded '\0' bytes. If you want to
obtain the length of the data up to and excluding the first '\0'
character, call <a href="qtcore.html#qstrlen">qstrlen</a>() on
the byte array.</p>
<p>After a call to <a href="qbytearray.html#resize">resize</a>(),
newly allocated bytes have undefined values. To set all the bytes
to a particular value, call <a href="qbytearray.html#fill">fill</a>().</p>
<p>To obtain a pointer to the actual character data, call <a href="qbytearray.html#data">data</a>() or <a href="qbytearray.html#constData">constData</a>(). These functions return
a pointer to the beginning of the data. The pointer is guaranteed
to remain valid until a non-const function is called on the
QByteArray. It is also guaranteed that the data ends with a '\0'
byte unless the QByteArray was created from a <a href="qbytearray.html#fromRawData">raw data</a>. This '\0' byte is
automatically provided by QByteArray and is not counted in <a href="qbytearray.html#size">size</a>().</p>
<p>QByteArray provides the following basic functions for modifying
the byte data: <a href="qbytearray.html#append">append</a>(),
<a href="qbytearray.html#prepend">prepend</a>(), <a href="qbytearray.html#insert">insert</a>(), <a href="qbytearray.html#replace">replace</a>(), and <a href="qbytearray.html#remove">remove</a>(). For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QByteArray</span> x(<span class="string">"and"</span>);
x<span class="operator">.</span>prepend(<span class="string">"rock "</span>); <span class="comment">// x == "rock and"</span>
x<span class="operator">.</span>append(<span class="string">" roll"</span>); <span class="comment">// x == "rock and roll"</span>
x<span class="operator">.</span>replace(<span class="number">5</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">3</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"&"</span>); <span class="comment">// x == "rock & roll"</span>
</pre>
<p>The <a href="qbytearray.html#replace">replace</a>() and <a href="qbytearray.html#remove">remove</a>() functions' first two
arguments are the position from which to start erasing and the
number of bytes that should be erased.</p>
<p>When you <a href="qbytearray.html#append">append</a>() data to a
non-empty array, the array will be reallocated and the new data
copied to it. You can avoid this behavior by calling <a href="qbytearray.html#reserve">reserve</a>(), which preallocates a
certain amount of memory. You can also call <a href="qbytearray.html#capacity">capacity</a>() to find out how much
memory QByteArray actually allocated. Data appended to an empty
array is not copied.</p>
<p>A frequent requirement is to remove whitespace characters from a
byte array ('\n', '\t', ' ', etc.). If you want to remove
whitespace from both ends of a QByteArray, use <a href="qbytearray.html#trimmed">trimmed</a>(). If you want to remove
whitespace from both ends and replace multiple consecutive
whitespaces with a single space character within the byte array,
use <a href="qbytearray.html#simplified">simplified</a>().</p>
<p>If you want to find all occurrences of a particular character or
substring in a QByteArray, use <a href="qbytearray.html#indexOf">indexOf</a>() or <a href="qbytearray.html#lastIndexOf">lastIndexOf</a>(). The former
searches forward starting from a given index position, the latter
searches backward. Both return the index position of the character
or substring if they find it; otherwise, they return -1. For
example, here's a typical loop that finds all occurrences of a
particular substring:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QByteArray</span> ba(<span class="string">"We must be <b>bold</b>, very <b>bold</b>"</span>);
<span class="type">int</span> j <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0</span>;
<span class="keyword">while</span> ((j <span class="operator">=</span> ba<span class="operator">.</span>indexOf(<span class="string">"<b>"</span><span class="operator">,</span> j)) <span class="operator">!</span><span class="operator">=</span> <span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">1</span>) {
cout <span class="operator"><</span><span class="operator"><</span> <span class="string">"Found <b> tag at index position "</span> <span class="operator"><</span><span class="operator"><</span> j <span class="operator"><</span><span class="operator"><</span> endl;
<span class="operator">+</span><span class="operator">+</span>j;
}
</pre>
<p>If you simply want to check whether a QByteArray contains a
particular character or substring, use <a href="qbytearray.html#contains">contains</a>(). If you want to find out
how many times a particular character or substring occurs in the
byte array, use <a href="qbytearray.html#count">count</a>(). If you
want to replace all occurrences of a particular value with another,
use one of the two-parameter <a href="qbytearray.html#replace">replace</a>() overloads.</p>
<p>QByteArrays can be compared using overloaded operators such as
operator<(), operator<=(), operator==(), operator>=(), and
so on. The comparison is based exclusively on the numeric values of
the characters and is very fast, but is not what a human would
expect. <a href="qstring.html#localeAwareCompare">QString.localeAwareCompare</a>()
is a better choice for sorting user-interface strings.</p>
<p>For historical reasons, QByteArray distinguishes between a null
byte array and an empty byte array. A <i>null</i> byte array is a
byte array that is initialized using QByteArray's default
constructor or by passing (const char *)0 to the constructor. An
<i>empty</i> byte array is any byte array with size 0. A null byte
array is always empty, but an empty byte array isn't necessarily
null:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QByteArray</span>()<span class="operator">.</span>isNull(); <span class="comment">// returns true</span>
<span class="type">QByteArray</span>()<span class="operator">.</span>isEmpty(); <span class="comment">// returns true</span>
<span class="type">QByteArray</span>(<span class="string">""</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>isNull(); <span class="comment">// returns false</span>
<span class="type">QByteArray</span>(<span class="string">""</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>isEmpty(); <span class="comment">// returns true</span>
<span class="type">QByteArray</span>(<span class="string">"abc"</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>isNull(); <span class="comment">// returns false</span>
<span class="type">QByteArray</span>(<span class="string">"abc"</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>isEmpty(); <span class="comment">// returns false</span>
</pre>
<p>All functions except <a href="qbytearray.html#isNull">isNull</a>() treat null byte arrays the
same as empty byte arrays. For example, <a href="qbytearray.html#data">data</a>() returns a pointer to a '\0'
character for a null byte array (<i>not</i> a null pointer), and
<a href="qbytearray.html#QByteArray">QByteArray</a>() compares
equal to QByteArray(""). We recommend that you always use <a href="qbytearray.html#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>() and avoid <a href="qbytearray.html#isNull">isNull</a>().</p>

<h3>Notes on Locale</h3>
<a id="number-string-conversions" name="number-string-conversions" />
<h4>Number-String Conversions</h4>
<p>Functions that perform conversions between numeric data types
and strings are performed in the C locale, irrespective of the
user's locale settings. Use <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> to
perform locale-aware conversions between numbers and strings.</p>
<a name="8-bit-character-comparisons" />
<h4>8-bit Character Comparisons</h4>
<p>In QByteArray, the notion of uppercase and lowercase and of
which character is greater than or less than another character is
locale dependent. This affects functions that support a case
insensitive option or that compare or lowercase or uppercase their
arguments. Case insensitive operations and comparisons will be
accurate if both strings contain only ASCII characters. (If
<tt>$LC_CTYPE</tt> is set, most Unix systems do "the right thing".)
Functions that this affects include <a href="qbytearray.html#contains">contains</a>(), <a href="qbytearray.html#indexOf">indexOf</a>(), <a href="qbytearray.html#lastIndexOf">lastIndexOf</a>(), operator<(),
operator<=(), operator>(), operator>=(), <a href="qbytearray.html#toLower">toLower</a>() and <a href="qbytearray.html#toUpper">toUpper</a>().</p>
<p>This issue does not apply to QStrings since they represent
characters using Unicode.</p>

</pre>
<p>This is the same as insert(<a href="qbytearray.html#size">size</a>(), <i>ba</i>).</p>
<p>Note: <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> is an <a href="implicit-sharing.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a>
class. Consequently, if <i>this</i> is an empty <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>, then <i>this</i> will just share
the data held in <i>ba</i>. In this case, no copying of data is
done, taking <a href="containers.html#constant-time">constant
time</a>. If a shared instance is modified, it will be copied
(copy-on-write), taking <a href="containers.html#linear-time">linear time</a>.</p>
<p>If <i>this</i> is not an empty <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>, a deep copy of the data is
performed, taking <a href="containers.html#linear-time">linear
time</a>.</p>
<p>This operation typically does not suffer from allocation
overhead, because <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>
preallocates extra space at the end of the data so that it may grow
without reallocating for each append operation.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="append-2" /><a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> QByteArray.append (<i>self</i>, QString <i>s</i>)</h3><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<p>Appends the string <i>str</i> to this byte array. The Unicode

<h3 class="fn"><a name="capacity" />int QByteArray.capacity (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the maximum number of bytes that can be stored in the

<p>The sole purpose of this function is to provide a means of fine
tuning <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>'s memory usage. In

<h3 class="fn"><a name="count-2" />int QByteArray.count (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<p>Returns the number of (potentially overlapping) occurrences of
string <i>str</i> in the byte array.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="data" />str QByteArray.data (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns a pointer to the data stored in the byte array. The
pointer can be used to access and modify the bytes that compose the
array. The data is '\0'-terminated, i.e. the number of bytes in the
returned character string is <a href="qbytearray.html#size">size</a>() + 1 for the '\0' terminator.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type"><a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a></span> ba(<span class="string">"Hello world"</span>);
<span class="type">char</span> <span class="operator">*</span>data <span class="operator">=</span> ba<span class="operator">.</span>data();

<span class="operator">+</span><span class="operator">+</span>data;
}
</pre>
<p>The pointer remains valid as long as the byte array isn't
reallocated or destroyed. For read-only access, <a href="qbytearray.html#constData">constData</a>() is faster because it
never causes a <a href="implicit-sharing.html#deep-copy">deep
copy</a> to occur.</p>
<p>This function is mostly useful to pass a byte array to a
function that accepts a <tt>const char *</tt>.</p>
<p>The following example makes a copy of the char* returned by
data(), but it will corrupt the heap and cause a crash because it
does not allocate a byte for the '\0' at the end:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> tmp <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="string">"test"</span>;
<span class="type"><a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a></span> text <span class="operator">=</span> tmp<span class="operator">.</span>toLocal8Bit();

strcpy(data<span class="operator">,</span> text<span class="operator">.</span>data());
<span class="keyword">delete</span> <span class="operator">[</span><span class="operator">]</span> data;
</pre>
<p>This one allocates the correct amount of space:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> tmp <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="string">"test"</span>;

strcpy(data<span class="operator">,</span> text<span class="operator">.</span>data());
<span class="keyword">delete</span> <span class="operator">[</span><span class="operator">]</span> data;
</pre>
<p>Note: A <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> can store any
byte values including '\0's, but most functions that take <tt>char
*</tt> arguments assume that the data ends at the first '\0' they
encounter.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="fromRawData" /><a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> QByteArray.fromRawData (str)</h3><p>Constructs a <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> that uses
the first <i>size</i> bytes of the <i>data</i> array. The bytes are
<i>not</i> copied. The <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>
will contain the <i>data</i> pointer. The caller guarantees that
<i>data</i> will not be deleted or modified as long as this
<a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> and any copies of it exist
that have not been modified. In other words, because <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> is an <a href="implicit-sharing.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a>
class and the instance returned by this function contains the
<i>data</i> pointer, the caller must not delete <i>data</i> or
modify it directly as long as the returned <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> and any copies exist. However,
<a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> does not take ownership of
<i>data</i>, so the <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>
destructor will never delete the raw <i>data</i>, even when the
last <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> referring to
<i>data</i> is destroyed.</p>
<p>A subsequent attempt to modify the contents of the returned
<a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> or any copy made from it
