The caller is responsible for calling \cfunction{PyMem_Free()} to free the allocated buffer after usage. If \var{*buffer} points to a non-\NULL{} pointer (an already allocated -buffer), \cfuntion{PyArg_ParseTuple()} will use this location as +buffer), \cfunction{PyArg_ParseTuple()} will use this location as buffer and interpret \var{*buffer_length} as buffer size. It will then copy the encoded data into the buffer and 0-terminate it. Buffer overflow is signalled with an exception. |
