# Bytes Objects

These functions raise `TypeError` when expecting a bytes parameter and called with a non-bytes parameter.

type PyBytesObject

  This subtype of `PyObject` represents a Python bytes object.

PyTypeObject PyBytes_Type
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  This instance of `PyTypeObject` represents the Python bytes type; it is the same object as `bytes` in the Python layer.

int PyBytes_Check(PyObject *o)

  Return true if the object o is a bytes object or an instance of a subtype of the bytes type. This function always succeeds.

int PyBytes_CheckExact(PyObject *o)

  Return true if the object o is a bytes object, but not an instance of a subtype of the bytes type. This function always succeeds.

PyObject *PyBytes_FromString(const char *v)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Return a new bytes object with a copy of the string v as value on success, and `NULL` on failure. The parameter v must not be `NULL`; it will not be checked.

PyObject *PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(const char *v, Py_ssize_t len)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Return a new bytes object with a copy of the string v as value and length len on success, and `NULL` on failure. If v is `NULL`, the contents of the bytes object are uninitialized.

PyObject *PyBytes_FromFormat(const char *format, ...)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Take a C `printf()`-style format string and a variable number of arguments, calculate the size of the resulting Python bytes object and return a bytes object with the values formatted into it. The variable arguments must be C types and must correspond exactly to the format characters in the format string. The following format characters are allowed:

  Format Characters | Typ | komentarz
  --- | --- | ---
  `%%` | n/a | The literal % character.
  `%c` | int | A single byte, represented as a C int.
  `%d` | int | Equivalent to `printf("%d")`. [1]
  `%u` | nieoznaczony typ int | Equivalent to `printf("%u")`. [1]
  `%ld` | long | Equivalent to `printf("%ld")`. [1]
  `%lu` | nieoznaczony typ długi | Equivalent to `printf("%lu")`. [1]
  `%zd` | `Py_ssize_t` | Equivalent to `printf("%zd")`. [1]
  `%zu` | size_t | Equivalent to `printf("%zu")`. [1]
  `%i` | int | Equivalent to `printf("%i")`. [1]
  `%x` | int | Equivalent to `printf("%x")`. [1]
  `%s` | const char* | A null-terminated C character array.
  `%p` | const void* | The hex representation of a C pointer. Mostly equivalent to `printf("%p")` except that it is guaranteed to start with the literal `0x` regardless of what the platform’s `printf` yields.

  An unrecognized format character causes all the rest of the format string to be copied as-is to the result object, and any extra arguments discarded.

  [1] (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)

  For integer specifiers (d, u, ld, lu, zd, zu, i, x): the 0-conversion flag has effect even when a precision is given.

PyObject *PyBytes_FromFormatV(const char *format, va_list vargs)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Identical to `PyBytes_FromFormat()` except that it takes exactly two arguments.

PyObject *PyBytes_FromObject(PyObject *o)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Return the bytes representation of object o that implements the buffer protocol.

Py_ssize_t PyBytes_Size(PyObject *o)
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  Return the length of the bytes in bytes object o.

Py_ssize_t PyBytes_GET_SIZE(PyObject *o)

  Similar to `PyBytes_Size()`, but without error checking.

char *PyBytes_AsString(PyObject *o)
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  Return a pointer to the contents of o. The pointer refers to the internal buffer of o, which consists of `len(o) + 1` bytes. The last byte in the buffer is always null, regardless of whether there are any other null bytes. The data must not be modified in any way, unless the object was just created using `PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(NULL, size)`. It must not be deallocated. If o is not a bytes object at all, `PyBytes_AsString()` returns `NULL` and raises `TypeError`.

char *PyBytes_AS_STRING(PyObject *string)

  Similar to `PyBytes_AsString()`, but without error checking.

int PyBytes_AsStringAndSize(PyObject *obj, char **buffer, Py_ssize_t *length)
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  Return the null-terminated contents of the object obj through the output variables buffer and length. Returns `0` on success.

  If length is `NULL`, the bytes object may not contain embedded null bytes; if it does, the function returns `-1` and a `ValueError` is raised.

  The buffer refers to an internal buffer of obj, which includes an additional null byte at the end (not counted in length). The data must not be modified in any way, unless the object was just created using `PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(NULL, size)`. It must not be deallocated. If obj is not a bytes object at all, `PyBytes_AsStringAndSize()` returns `-1` and raises `TypeError`.

  Zmienione w wersji 3.5: Previously, `TypeError` was raised when embedded null bytes were encountered in the bytes object.

void PyBytes_Concat(PyObject **bytes, PyObject *newpart)
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  Create a new bytes object in *bytes containing the contents of newpart appended to bytes; the caller will own the new reference. The reference to the old value of bytes will be stolen. If the new object cannot be created, the old reference to bytes will still be discarded and the value of *bytes will be set to `NULL`; the appropriate exception will be set.

void PyBytes_ConcatAndDel(PyObject **bytes, PyObject *newpart)
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  Create a new bytes object in *bytes containing the contents of newpart appended to bytes. This version releases the strong reference to newpart (i.e. decrements its reference count).

int _PyBytes_Resize(PyObject **bytes, Py_ssize_t newsize)

  Resize a bytes object. newsize will be the new length of the bytes object. You can think of it as creating a new bytes object and destroying the old one, only more efficiently. Pass the address of an existing bytes object as an lvalue (it may be written into), and the new size desired. On success, *bytes holds the resized bytes object and `0` is returned; the address in *bytes may differ from its input value. If the reallocation fails, the original bytes object at *bytes is deallocated, *bytes is set to `NULL`, `MemoryError` is set, and `-1` is returned.

PyObject *PyBytes_Repr(PyObject *bytes, int smartquotes)
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  Get the string representation of bytes. This function is currently used to implement `bytes.__repr__()` in Python.

  This function does not do type checking; it is undefined behavior to pass bytes as a non-bytes object or `NULL`.

  If smartquotes is true, the representation will use a double-quoted string instead of single-quoted string when single-quotes are present in bytes. For example, the byte string `'Python'` would be represented as `b"'Python'"` when smartquotes is true, or `b'\'Python\''` when it is false.

  On success, this function returns a strong reference to a `str` object containing the representation. On failure, this returns `NULL` with an exception set.

PyObject *PyBytes_DecodeEscape(const char *s, Py_ssize_t len, const char *errors, Py_ssize_t unicode, const char *recode_encoding)
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  Unescape a backslash-escaped string s. s must not be `NULL`. len must be the size of s.

  errors must be one of `"strict"`, `"replace"`, or `"ignore"`. If errors is `NULL`, then `"strict"` is used by default.

  On success, this function returns a strong reference to a Python `bytes` object containing the unescaped string. On failure, this function returns `NULL` with an exception set.

  Zmienione w wersji 3.9: unicode and recode_encoding are now unused.
