static char struct__doc__[] = "\
Functions to convert between Python values and C structs.\n\
Python strings are used to hold the data representing the C struct\n\
and also as format strings to describe the layout of data in the C struct.\n\
\n\
The optional first format char indicates byte ordering and alignment:\n\
 @: native w/native alignment(default)\n\
 =: native w/standard alignment\n\
 <: little-endian, std. alignment\n\
 >: big-endian, std. alignment\n\
 !: network, std (same as >)\n\
\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\
 h:short; H:unsigned short; i:int; I:unsigned int;\n\
 l:long; L:unsigned long; f:float; d:double.\n\
Special cases (preceding decimal count indicates length):\n\
 s:string (array of char); p: pascal string (w. count byte).\n\
Special case (only available in native format):\n\
 P:an integer type that is wide enough to hold a pointer.\n\
Whitespace between formats is ignored.\n\
\n\
The variable struct.error is an exception raised on errors.";
