Byte Array Objects
------------------
.. index:: pair: object; bytearray
.. c:type:: PyByteArrayObject
This subtype of :c:type:`PyObject` represents a Python bytearray object.
.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyByteArray_Type
This instance of :c:type:`PyTypeObject` represents the Python bytearray type;
it is the same object as :class:`bytearray` in the Python layer.
Type check macros
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. c:function:: 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.
.. c:function:: 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.
Direct API functions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyByteArray_FromObject(PyObject *o)
Return a new bytearray object from any object, *o*, that implements the
:ref:`buffer protocol <bufferobjects>`.
On failure, return ``NULL`` with an exception set.
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyByteArray_FromStringAndSize(const char *string, Py_ssize_t len)
Create a new bytearray object from *string* and its length, *len*.
On failure, return ``NULL`` with an exception set.
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyByteArray_Concat(PyObject *a, PyObject *b)
Concat bytearrays *a* and *b* and return a new bytearray with the result.
On failure, return ``NULL`` with an exception set.
.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PyByteArray_Size(PyObject *bytearray)
Return the size of *bytearray* after checking for a ``NULL`` pointer.
.. c:function:: char* PyByteArray_AsString(PyObject *bytearray)
Return the contents of *bytearray* as a char array after checking for a
``NULL`` pointer. The returned array always has an extra
null byte appended.
.. c:function:: int PyByteArray_Resize(PyObject *bytearray, Py_ssize_t len)
Resize the internal buffer of *bytearray* to *len*.
Macros
^^^^^^
These macros trade safety for speed and they don't check pointers.
.. c:function:: char* PyByteArray_AS_STRING(PyObject *bytearray)
Similar to :c:func:`PyByteArray_AsString`, but without error checking.
.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PyByteArray_GET_SIZE(PyObject *bytearray)
Similar to :c:func:`PyByteArray_Size`, but without error checking.
