`ctypes`¶

create and manipulate C data types in Python

Functions¶

`ARRAY`(typ, len)
`CFUNCTYPE`(restype, argtypes, *kw)	CFUNCTYPE(restype, *argtypes, use_errno=False, use_last_error=False) -> function prototype.
`POINTER`
`PYFUNCTYPE`(restype, *argtypes)
`SetPointerType`(pointer, cls)
`addressof`((C instance) -> integer)	Return the address of the C instance internal buffer
`alignment`((C type) -> integer)	alignment(C instance) -> integer
`byref`((C instance[[, offset])	Return a pointer lookalike to a C instance, only usable
`c_buffer`(init[, size])
`cast`(obj, typ)
`create_string_buffer`(...)	create_string_buffer(anInteger) -> character array
`create_unicode_buffer`(...)	create_unicode_buffer(anInteger) -> character array
`get_errno`
`pointer`
`resize`	Resize the memory buffer of a ctypes instance
`set_conversion_mode`(encoding, ...)	Set the encoding and error handling ctypes uses when converting between unicode and strings.
`set_errno`
`sizeof`((C type) -> integer)	sizeof(C instance) -> integer
`string_at`((addr[, size]) -> string)	Return the string at addr.
`wstring_at`((addr[, size]) -> string)	Return the string at addr.
