This section describes the legacy buffer protocol, which has been introduced
in Python 1.6. It is still supported but deprecated in the Python 2.x series.
Python 3.0 introduces a new buffer protocol which fixes weaknesses and
shortcomings of the protocol, and has been backported to Python 2.6.
See :ref:`bufferobjects` for more information.

.. cfunction:: int PyObject_AsCharBuffer(PyObject *obj, const char **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
Returns a pointer to a read-only memory location usable as character-based
input. The *obj* argument must support the single-segment character buffer
interface. On success, returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location and
*buffer_len* to the buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a :exc:`TypeError`
on error.
