!struct --- Interpret bytes as packed binary data — Examples

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Native byte order examples (designated by the '@' format prefix or lack of any prefix character) may not match what the reader's machine produces as that depends on the platform and compiler. Pack and unpack integers of three different sizes, using big endian ordering Attempt to pack an integer which is too large for the defined field Demonstrate the difference between 's' and 'c' format characters Unpacked fields can be named by assigning them to variables or by wrapping the result in a named tuple The ordering of type codes may have an impact on size in native mode since padding is implicit. In standard mode, the user is responsible for inserting any desired padding. Note in the first pack call below that three NUL bytes were added after the packed '#' to align the following integer on a four-byte boundary. In this example, the output was produced on a little endian machine The f Attribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
