+Buffer Protocol
+===============
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyObject_AsCharBuffer(PyObject *obj, const char **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
+
+ Returns a pointer to a read-only memory location useable as character- based
+ input. The *obj* argument must support the single-segment character buffer
+ interface. On success, returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location and
+ *buffer_len* to the buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a :exc:`TypeError`
+ on error.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyObject_AsReadBuffer(PyObject *obj, const void **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
+
+ Returns a pointer to a read-only memory location containing arbitrary data. The
+ *obj* argument must support the single-segment readable buffer interface. On
+ success, returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location and *buffer_len* to
+ the buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a :exc:`TypeError` on error.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyObject_CheckReadBuffer(PyObject *o)
+
+ Returns ``1`` if *o* supports the single-segment readable buffer interface.
+ Otherwise returns ``0``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyObject_AsWriteBuffer(PyObject *obj, void **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
+
+ Returns a pointer to a writable memory location. The *obj* argument must
+ support the single-segment, character buffer interface. On success, returns
+ ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location and *buffer_len* to the buffer
+ length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a :exc:`TypeError` on error.
