"Convert between Python values and Samba binary encodings.

This module is conceptually similar to the standard 'struct' module, but it
uses both a different binary format and a different description string.

Samba's encoding is based on that used inside DCE-RPC and SMB: a
little-endian, unpadded, non-self-describing binary format.  It is intended
that these functions be as similar as possible to the routines in Samba's
tdb/tdbutil module, with appropriate adjustments for Python datatypes.

Python strings are used to specify the format of data to be packed or
unpacked.

Strings in TDBs are typically stored in DOS codepages.  The caller of this
module must make appropriate translations if necessary, typically to and from
Unicode objects.

tdbpack format strings:

    'f':  NULL-terminated string in DOS codepage

    'P':  same as 'f'

    'd':  4 byte little-endian unsigned number

    'w':  2 byte little-endian unsigned number

    'P': \"Pointer\" value -- in the subset of DCERPC used by Samba, this is
          really just an \"exists\" or \"does not exist\" flag.  The boolean
          value of the Python object is used.
    
    'B': 4-byte LE length, followed by that many bytes of binary data.
         Corresponds to a Python integer giving the length, followed by a byte
         string of the appropriate length.

    '$': Special flag indicating that the preceding format code should be
         repeated while data remains.  This is only supported for unpacking.

    Every code corresponds to a single Python object, except 'B' which
    corresponds to two values (length and contents), and '$', which produces
    however many make sense.

"pack(format, values) -> buffer
Pack Python objects into Samba binary format according to format string.

arguments:

returns:
    buffer -- string containing packed data

raises:
    IndexError -- if there are too few values for the format
    ValueError -- if any of the format characters is illegal
    TypeError  -- if the format is not a string, or values is not a sequence,
        or any of the values is of the wrong type for the corresponding
        format character

    For historical reasons, it is not an error to pass more values than are consumed

static char const pytdbpack_unpack_doc[] =
"unpack(format, buffer) -> (values, rest)
Unpack Samba binary data according to format string.

arguments:
    format -- string of tdbpack characters
    buffer -- string of packed binary data

returns:
    2-tuple of:
        values -- sequence of values corresponding 1:1 to format characters
        rest -- string containing data that was not decoded, or '' if the
            whole string was consumed

raises:
    IndexError -- if there is insufficient data in the buffer for the
        format (or if the data is corrupt and contains a variable-length
        field extending past the end)
    ValueError -- if any of the format characters is illegal

notes:
    Because unconsumed data is returned, you can feed it back in to the
    unpacker to extract further fields.  Alternatively, if you wish to modify
    some fields near the start of the data, you may be able to save time by
    only unpacking and repacking the necessary part.
