## Class PyBuffer.Pointer

- java.lang.Object
- - org.python.core.PyBuffer.Pointer

- Enclosing interface:
    PyBuffer

  Deprecated.

      @Deprecated
      public static class PyBuffer.Pointer
      extends Object

  A class that references a `byte[]` array and a particular offset within it, as the return type for methods that give direct access to byte-oriented data exported by a Python object. In some contexts the consumer will be entitled to make changes to the contents of this array, and in others not. See `PyBUF.isReadonly()`. It is used by the Jython buffer API roughly where the CPython buffer API uses a C (char *) pointer.
