Python bytes objects are used to hold the data representing the C struct\n\

The optional first format char indicates byte order, size and alignment:\n\

  <: little-endian, std. size & alignment\n\
  >: big-endian, std. size & alignment\n\
  !: same as >\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\
  ?: _Bool (requires C99; if not available, char is used instead)\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 (with count byte).\n\
Special case (only available in native format):\n\
  P:an integer type that is wide enough to hold a pointer.\n\
Special case (not in native mode unless 'long long' in platform C):\n\
