.. function:: pack(fmt, v1, v2, ...)
Pack the values ``v1``, ``v2``, ... according to the format string ``fmt``.
The return value is a bytes object encoding the values.
.. function:: pack_into(fmt, buffer, offset, v1, v2, ...)
Pack the values `v1`, `v2`, ... according to the format string `fmt`
into a `buffer` starting at `offset`. `offset` may be negative to count
from the end of `buffer`.
.. function:: unpack(fmt, data)

The return value is a tuple of the unpacked values.
.. function:: unpack_from(fmt, data, offset=0)
