-Old Buffer Protocol
--------------------
-
-.. deprecated:: 3.0
-
-These functions were part of the "old buffer protocol" API in Python 2.
-In Python 3, this protocol doesn't exist anymore but the functions are still
-exposed to ease porting 2.x code. They act as a compatibility wrapper
-around the :ref:`new buffer protocol <bufferobjects>`, but they don't give
-you control over the lifetime of the resources acquired when a buffer is
-exported.
-
-Therefore, it is recommended that you call :c:func:`PyObject_GetBuffer`
-(or the ``y*`` or ``w*`` :ref:`format codes <arg-parsing>` with the
-:c:func:`PyArg_ParseTuple` family of functions) to get a buffer view over
-an object, and :c:func:`PyBuffer_Release` when the buffer view can be released.
-
-
-.. c:function:: int PyObject_AsCharBuffer(PyObject *obj, const char **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
-
- Returns a pointer to a read-only memory location usable as character-based
- input. The *obj* argument must support the single-segment character buffer
- interface. On success, returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location
- and *buffer_len* to the buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a
- :exc:`TypeError` on error.
-
-
-.. c:function:: int PyObject_AsReadBuffer(PyObject *obj, const void **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
-
- Returns a pointer to a read-only memory location containing arbitrary data.
- The *obj* argument must support the single-segment readable buffer
- interface. On success, returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location
- and *buffer_len* to the buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a
- :exc:`TypeError` on error.
-
-
-.. c:function:: int PyObject_CheckReadBuffer(PyObject *o)
-
- Returns ``1`` if *o* supports the single-segment readable buffer interface.
- Otherwise returns ``0``. This function always succeeds.
-
- Note that this function tries to get and release a buffer, and exceptions
- which occur while calling corresponding functions will get suppressed.
- To get error reporting use :c:func:`PyObject_GetBuffer()` instead.
-
-
-.. c:function:: int PyObject_AsWriteBuffer(PyObject *obj, void **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
-
- Returns a pointer to a writable memory location. The *obj* argument must
- support the single-segment, character buffer interface. On success,
- returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location and *buffer_len* to the
- buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a :exc:`TypeError` on error.
