62 "Convert between Python values and Samba binary encodings.
64 This module is conceptually similar to the standard 'struct' module, but it
65 uses both a different binary format and a different description string.
67 Samba's encoding is based on that used inside DCE-RPC and SMB: a
68 little-endian, unpadded, non-self-describing binary format. It is intended
69 that these functions be as similar as possible to the routines in Samba's
70 tdb/tdbutil module, with appropriate adjustments for Python datatypes.
72 Python strings are used to specify the format of data to be packed or
75 String encodings are implied by the database format: they may be either DOS
76 codepage (currently hardcoded to 850), or Unix codepage (currently hardcoded
77 to be the same as the default Python encoding).
79 tdbpack format strings:
81 'f': NUL-terminated string in codepage iso8859-1
85 'F': NUL-terminated string in iso-8859-1
87 'd': 4 byte little-endian unsigned number
89 'w': 2 byte little-endian unsigned number
91 'P': \"Pointer\" value -- in the subset of DCERPC used by Samba, this is
92 really just an \"exists\" or \"does not exist\" flag. The boolean
93 value of the Python object is used.
95 'B': 4-byte LE length, followed by that many bytes of binary data.
96 Corresponds to a Python integer giving the length, followed by a byte
97 string of the appropriate length.
99 '$': Special flag indicating that the preceding format code should be
100 repeated while data remains. This is only supported for unpacking.
102 Every code corresponds to a single Python object, except 'B' which
103 corresponds to two values (length and contents), and '$', which produces
104 however many make sense.
