    \class QByteArray
    \brief The QByteArray class provides an array of bytes.

    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \ingroup text
    \mainclass
    \reentrant

    QByteArray can be used to store both raw bytes (including '\\0's)
    and traditional 8-bit '\\0'-terminated strings. Using QByteArray
    is much more convenient than using \c{const char *}. Behind the
    scenes, it always ensures that the data is followed by a '\\0'
    terminator, and uses \l{implicit sharing} (copy-on-write) to
    reduce memory usage and avoid needless copying of data.

    In addition to QByteArray, Qt also provides the QString class to
    store string data. For most purposes, QString is the class you
    want to use. It stores 16-bit Unicode characters, making it easy
    to store non-ASCII/non-Latin-1 characters in your application.
    Furthermore, QString is used throughout in the Qt API. The two
    main cases where QByteArray is appropriate are when you need to
    store raw binary data, and when memory conservation is critical
    (e.g., with Qt for Embedded Linux).

    One way to initialize a QByteArray is simply to pass a \c{const
    char *} to its constructor. For example, the following code
    creates a byte array of size 5 containing the data "Hello":

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qbytearray.cpp 0

    Although the size() is 5, the byte array also maintains an extra
    '\\0' character at the end so that if a function is used that
    asks for a pointer to the underlying data (e.g. a call to
    data()), the data pointed to is guaranteed to be
    '\\0'-terminated.

    QByteArray makes a deep copy of the \c{const char *} data, so you
    can modify it later without experiencing side effects. (If for
    performance reasons you don't want to take a deep copy of the
    character data, use QByteArray::fromRawData() instead.)

    Another approach is to set the size of the array using resize()
    and to initialize the data byte per byte. QByteArray uses 0-based
    indexes, just like C++ arrays. To access the byte at a particular
    index position, you can use operator[](). On non-const byte
    arrays, operator[]() returns a reference to a byte that can be
    used on the left side of an assignment. For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qbytearray.cpp 1

    For read-only access, an alternative syntax is to use at():

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qbytearray.cpp 2

    at() can be faster than operator[](), because it never causes a
    \l{deep copy} to occur.

    To extract many bytes at a time, use left(), right(), or mid().

    A QByteArray can embed '\\0' bytes. The size() function always
    returns the size of the whole array, including embedded '\\0'
    bytes. If you want to obtain the length of the data up to and
    excluding the first '\\0' character, call qstrlen() on the byte
    array.

    After a call to resize(), newly allocated bytes have undefined
    values. To set all the bytes to a particular value, call fill().

    To obtain a pointer to the actual character data, call data() or
    constData(). These functions return a pointer to the beginning of
    the data. The pointer is guaranteed to remain valid until a
    non-const function is called on the QByteArray. It is also
    guaranteed that the data ends with a '\\0' byte. This '\\0' byte
    is automatically provided by QByteArray and is not counted in
    size().

    QByteArray provides the following basic functions for modifying
    the byte data: append(), prepend(), insert(), replace(), and
    remove(). For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qbytearray.cpp 3

    The replace() and remove() functions' first two arguments are the
    position from which to start erasing and the number of bytes that
    should be erased.

    When you append() data to a non-empty array, the array will be
    reallocated and the new data copied to it. You can avoid this
    behavior by calling reserve(), which preallocates a certain amount
    of memory. You can also call capacity() to find out how much
    memory QByteArray actually allocated. Data appended to an empty
    array is not copied.

    A frequent requirement is to remove whitespace characters from a
    byte array ('\\n', '\\t', ' ', etc.). If you want to remove
    whitespace from both ends of a QByteArray, use trimmed(). If you
    want to remove whitespace from both ends and replace multiple
    consecutive whitespaces with a single space character within the
    byte array, use simplified().

    If you want to find all occurrences of a particular character or
    substring in a QByteArray, use indexOf() or lastIndexOf(). The
    former searches forward starting from a given index position, the
    latter searches backward. Both return the index position of the
    character or substring if they find it; otherwise, they return -1.
    For example, here's a typical loop that finds all occurrences of a
    particular substring:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qbytearray.cpp 4

    If you simply want to check whether a QByteArray contains a
    particular character or substring, use contains(). If you want to
    find out how many times a particular character or substring
    occurs in the byte array, use count(). If you want to replace all
    occurrences of a particular value with another, use one of the
    two-parameter replace() overloads.

    QByteArrays can be compared using overloaded operators such as
    operator<(), operator<=(), operator==(), operator>=(), and so on.
    The comparison is based exclusively on the numeric values
    of the characters and is very fast, but is not what a human would
    expect. QString::localeAwareCompare() is a better choice for
    sorting user-interface strings.

    For historical reasons, QByteArray distinguishes between a null
    byte array and an empty byte array. A \e null byte array is a
    byte array that is initialized using QByteArray's default
    constructor or by passing (const char *)0 to the constructor. An
    \e empty byte array is any byte array with size 0. A null byte
    array is always empty, but an empty byte array isn't necessarily
    null:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qbytearray.cpp 5

    All functions except isNull() treat null byte arrays the same as
    empty byte arrays. For example, data() returns a pointer to a
    '\\0' character for a null byte array (\e not a null pointer),
    and QByteArray() compares equal to QByteArray(""). We recommend
    that you always use isEmpty() and avoid isNull().

    \section1 Notes on Locale

    \section2 Number-String Conversions

    Functions that perform conversions between numeric data types and
    strings are performed in the C locale, irrespective of the user's
    locale settings. Use QString to perform locale-aware conversions
    between numbers and strings.

    \section2 8-bit Character Comparisons

    In QByteArray, the notion of uppercase and lowercase and of which
    character is greater than or less than another character is
    locale dependent. This affects functions that support a case
    insensitive option or that compare or lowercase or uppercase
    their arguments. Case insensitive operations and comparisons will
    be accurate if both strings contain only ASCII characters. (If \c
    $LC_CTYPE is set, most Unix systems do "the right thing".)
    Functions that this affects include contains(), indexOf(),
    lastIndexOf(), operator<(), operator<=(), operator>(),
    operator>=(), toLower() and toUpper().

    This issue does not apply to QStrings since they represent
    characters using Unicode.

    Returns a byte array that contains the printed value of \a n,
    formatted in format \a f with precision \a prec.

    Argument \a n is formatted according to the \a f format specified,
    which is \c g by default, and can be any of the following:

    \table
    \header \i Format \i Meaning
    \row \i \c e \i format as [-]9.9e[+|-]999
    \row \i \c E \i format as [-]9.9E[+|-]999
    \row \i \c f \i format as [-]9.9
    \row \i \c g \i use \c e or \c f format, whichever is the most concise
    \row \i \c G \i use \c E or \c f format, whichever is the most concise
    \endtable

    With 'e', 'E', and 'f', \a prec is the number of digits after the
    decimal point. With 'g' and 'G', \a prec is the maximum number of
    significant digits (trailing zeroes are omitted).

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qbytearray.cpp 42

    is used irrespective of the user's locale.

/*!
    Constructs a QByteArray that uses the first \a size bytes of the
    \a data array. The bytes are \e not copied. The QByteArray will
    contain the \a data pointer. The caller guarantees that \a data
    will not be deleted or modified as long as this QByteArray and any
    copies of it exist that have not been modified. In other words,
    because QByteArray is an \l{implicitly shared} class and the
    instance returned by this function contains the \a data pointer,
    the caller must not delete \a data or modify it directly as long
    as the returned QByteArray and any copies exist. However,
    QByteArray does not take ownership of \a data, so the QByteArray
    destructor will never delete the raw \a data, even when the
    last QByteArray referring to \a data is destroyed.

    A subsequent attempt to modify the contents of the returned
    QByteArray or any copy made from it will cause it to create a deep
    copy of the \a data array before doing the modification. This
    ensures that the raw \a data array itself will never be modified
    by QByteArray.

    Here is an example of how to read data using a QDataStream on raw
    data in memory without copying the raw data into a QByteArray:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qbytearray.cpp 43

    \warning A byte array created with fromRawData() is \e not
    null-terminated, unless the raw data contains a 0 character at
    position \a size. While that does not matter for QDataStream or
    functions like indexOf(), passing the byte array to a function
    accepting a \c{const char *} expected to be '\\0'-terminated will
    fail.
