+These procedures are used to create, modify, and read Tcl byte-array values
+from C code.  Byte-array values are typically used to hold the
 results of binary IO operations or data structures created with the

 string.  Conceptually, a string is an array of Unicode characters, while a
 byte-array is an array of 8-bit quantities with no implicit meaning.
 Accessor functions are provided to get the string representation of a
