# AEDataStorage

A pointer to an opaque data type that provides storage for an AEDesc descriptor.

## Declaration

```swift
typealias AEDataStorage = UnsafeMutablePointer<AEDataStorageType?>
```

## Discussion

Discussion The Apple Event Manager defines the AEDataStorage data type to serve as a data storage field in the AEDesc structure. Your application doesn’t access the data pointed to by a data storage pointer directly. Rather, you work with the following functions: AEGetDescDataSize(_:) AEGetDescData(_:_:_:) AEGetDescDataRange(_:_:_:_:) AEReplaceDescData(_:_:_:_:)
