"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 order, size and alignment:\n\
 @: native order, size & alignment (default)\n\
 =: native order, std. size & alignment\n\
 <: little-endian, std. size & alignment\n\
 >: big-endian, std. size & alignment\n\
 !: 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 (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\
 q:long long; Q:unsigned long long\n\
Whitespace between formats is ignored.\n\
\n\
The variable struct.error is an exception raised on errors.");
