dataWithBytesNoCopy:length:

Creates a data object that holds a given number of bytes from a given buffer.

Declaration

+ (instancetype) dataWithBytesNoCopy:(void *) bytes length:(NSUInteger) length;

Parameters

  • bytes:

    A buffer containing data for the new object. bytes must point to a memory block allocated with malloc.

  • length:

    The number of bytes to hold from bytes. This value must not exceed the length of bytes.

Discussion

The returned object takes ownership of the bytes pointer and frees it on deallocation. Therefore, bytes must point to a memory block allocated with malloc.
