A string, see 'Details' |

Values/objects to be packed into a raw vector |
Currently supported template
values are:
'a' - A null padded string
'A' - A space padded string
'b' - An ascending bit order binary vector, (must be a multiple of 8 long)
'B' - An descending bit order binary vector, (must be a multiple of 8 long)
'C' - An unsigned char (octet) value
'v' - An unsigned short (16-bit) in "VAX" (little-endian) order
'V' - An unsigned long (32-bit) in "VAX" (little-endian) order
'x' - A null byte
Both 'a' and 'A' may be followed by a repeat value. A repeat value of '*'
will cause the remainder of the bytes in values
to be placed in
the last element.
'/' allows packing and unpacking of a sequence of values where the packed
structure contains a packed item count followed by the packed items themselves.
If template
requires more arguments to pack
than actually given,
pack
pads with null bytes. If template
requires fewer
arguments to pack
than actually given, extra arguments are ignored.
