    expressed as an unsigned, big-endian, 32-bit integer. This number is
    just a hint for the initial size of the output buffer size,

    output buffer size will still be increased until either the output

    QByteArray can be used to store both raw bytes (including '\\0's)
    and traditional 8-bit '\\0'-terminated strings. Using QByteArray
    is much more convenient than using \c{const char *}. Behind the
    scenes, it always ensures that the data is followed by a '\\0'
    terminator, and uses \l{implicit sharing} (copy-on-write) to
    reduce memory usage and avoid needless copying of data.
 
    In addition to QByteArray, Qt also provides the QString class to store
    string data. For most purposes, QString is the class you want to use. It
    understands its content as Unicode text (encoded using UTF-16) where
    QByteArray aims to avoid assumptions about the encoding or semantics of the
    bytes it stores (aside from a few legacy cases where it uses ASCII).
    Furthermore, QString is used throughout in the Qt API. The two main cases
    where QByteArray is appropriate are when you need to store raw binary data,
    and when memory conservation is critical (e.g., with Qt for Embedded Linux).
 
    One way to initialize a QByteArray is simply to pass a \c{const
    char *} to its constructor. For example, the following code
    creates a byte array of size 5 containing the data "Hello":
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qbytearray.cpp 0
 
    Although the size() is 5, the byte array also maintains an extra '\\0' byte
    at the end so that if a function is used that asks for a pointer to the
    underlying data (e.g. a call to data()), the data pointed to is guaranteed
    to be '\\0'-terminated.
 
    QByteArray makes a deep copy of the \c{const char *} data, so you can modify
    it later without experiencing side effects. (If, for example for performance
    reasons, you don't want to take a deep copy of the data, use
    QByteArray::fromRawData() instead.)
 
    Another approach is to set the size of the array using resize() and to
    initialize the data byte by byte. QByteArray uses 0-based indexes, just like
    C++ arrays. To access the byte at a particular index position, you can use
    operator[](). On non-const byte arrays, operator[]() returns a reference to
    a byte that can be used on the left side of an assignment. For example:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qbytearray.cpp 1
 
    For read-only access, an alternative syntax is to use at():
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qbytearray.cpp 2
 
    at() can be faster than operator[](), because it never causes a
    \l{deep copy} to occur.
 
    To extract many bytes at a time, use first(), last(), or sliced().
 
    A QByteArray can embed '\\0' bytes. The size() function always
    returns the size of the whole array, including embedded '\\0'
    bytes, but excluding the terminating '\\0' added by QByteArray.
    For example:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qbytearray.cpp 48
 
    If you want to obtain the length of the data up to and excluding the first
    '\\0' byte, call qstrlen() on the byte array.
 
    After a call to resize(), newly allocated bytes have undefined
    values. To set all the bytes to a particular value, call fill().
 
    To obtain a pointer to the actual bytes, call data() or constData(). These
    functions return a pointer to the beginning of the data. The pointer is
    guaranteed to remain valid until a non-const function is called on the
    QByteArray. It is also guaranteed that the data ends with a '\\0' byte
    unless the QByteArray was created from \l{fromRawData()}{raw data}. This
    '\\0' byte is automatically provided by QByteArray and is not counted in
    size().
 
    QByteArray provides the following basic functions for modifying
    the byte data: append(), prepend(), insert(), replace(), and
    remove(). For example:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qbytearray.cpp 3
 
    In the above example the replace() function's first two arguments are the
    position from which to start replacing and the number of bytes that
    should be replaced.
 
    When data-modifying functions increase the size of the array,
    they may lead to reallocation of memory for the QByteArray object. When
    this happens, QByteArray expands by more than it immediately needs so as
    to have space for further expansion without reallocation until the size
    of the array has greatly increased.
 
    The insert(), remove() and, when replacing a sub-array with one of
    different size, replace() functions can be slow (\l{linear time}) for
    large arrays, because they require moving many bytes in the array by
    at least one position in memory.
 
    If you are building a QByteArray gradually and know in advance
    approximately how many bytes the QByteArray will contain, you
    can call reserve(), asking QByteArray to preallocate a certain amount
    of memory. You can also call capacity() to find out how much
    memory the QByteArray actually has allocated.
 
    Note that using non-const operators and functions can cause
    QByteArray to do a deep copy of the data, due to \l{implicit sharing}.
 
    QByteArray provides \l{STL-style iterators} (QByteArray::const_iterator and
    QByteArray::iterator). In practice, iterators are handy when working with
    generic algorithms provided by the C++ standard library.
 
    \note Iterators and references to individual QByteArray elements are subject
    to stability issues. They are often invalidated when a QByteArray-modifying
    operation (e.g. insert() or remove()) is called. When stability and
    iterator-like functionality is required, you should use indexes instead of
    iterators as they are not tied to QByteArray's internal state and thus do
    not get invalidated.
 
    \note Iterators over a QByteArray, and references to individual bytes
    within one, cannot be relied on to remain valid when any non-const method
    of the QByteArray is called. Accessing such an iterator or reference after
    the call to a non-const method leads to undefined behavior. When stability
    for iterator-like functionality is required, you should use indexes instead
    of iterators as they are not tied to QByteArray's internal state and thus do
    not get invalidated.
 
    If you want to find all occurrences of a particular byte or sequence of
    bytes in a QByteArray, use indexOf() or lastIndexOf(). The former searches
    forward starting from a given index position, the latter searches
    backward. Both return the index position of the byte sequence if they find
    it; otherwise, they return -1. For example, here's a typical loop that finds
    all occurrences of a particular string:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qbytearray.cpp 4
 
    If you simply want to check whether a QByteArray contains a particular byte
    sequence, use contains(). If you want to find out how many times a
    particular byte sequence occurs in the byte array, use count(). If you want
    to replace all occurrences of a particular value with another, use one of
    the two-parameter replace() overloads.
 
    \l{QByteArray}s can be compared using overloaded operators such as
    operator<(), operator<=(), operator==(), operator>=(), and so on. The
    comparison is based exclusively on the numeric values of the bytes and is
    very fast, but is not what a human would
    expect. QString::localeAwareCompare() is a better choice for sorting
    user-interface strings.
 
    For historical reasons, QByteArray distinguishes between a null
    byte array and an empty byte array. A \e null byte array is a
    byte array that is initialized using QByteArray's default
    constructor or by passing (const char *)0 to the constructor. An
    \e empty byte array is any byte array with size 0. A null byte
    array is always empty, but an empty byte array isn't necessarily
    null:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qbytearray.cpp 5
 
    All functions except isNull() treat null byte arrays the same as empty byte
    arrays. For example, data() returns a valid pointer (\e not nullptr) to a
    '\\0' byte for a null byte array and QByteArray() compares equal to
    QByteArray(""). We recommend that you always use isEmpty() and avoid
    isNull().
 
    \section1 Maximum size and out-of-memory conditions
 
    The maximum size of QByteArray depends on the architecture. Most 64-bit
    systems can allocate more than 2 GB of memory, with a typical limit
    of 2^63 bytes. The actual value also depends on the overhead required for
    managing the data block. As a result, you can expect the maximum size
    of 2 GB minus overhead on 32-bit platforms, and 2^63 bytes minus overhead
    on 64-bit platforms. The number of elements that can be stored in a
    QByteArray is this maximum size.
 
    When memory allocation fails, QByteArray throws a \c std::bad_alloc
    exception if the application is being compiled with exception support.
    Out of memory conditions in Qt containers are the only case where Qt
    will throw exceptions. If exceptions are disabled, then running out of
    memory is undefined behavior.
 
    Note that the operating system may impose further limits on applications
    holding a lot of allocated memory, especially large, contiguous blocks.
    Such considerations, the configuration of such behavior or any mitigation
    are outside the scope of the QByteArray API.
 
    \section1 C locale and ASCII functions
 
    QByteArray generally handles data as bytes, without presuming any semantics;
    where it does presume semantics, it uses the C locale and ASCII encoding.
    Standard Unicode encodings are supported by QString, other encodings may be
    supported using QStringEncoder and QStringDecoder to convert to Unicode. For
    locale-specific interpretation of text, use QLocale or QString.
 
    \section2 C Strings
 
    Traditional C strings, also known as '\\0'-terminated strings, are sequences
    of bytes, specified by a start-point and implicitly including each byte up
    to, but not including, the first '\\0' byte thereafter. Methods that accept
    such a pointer, without a length, will interpret it as this sequence of
    bytes. Such a sequence, by construction, cannot contain a '\\0' byte.
 
    Other overloads accept a start-pointer and a byte-count; these use the given
    number of bytes, following the start address, regardless of whether any of
    them happen to be '\\0' bytes. In some cases, where there is no overload
    taking only a pointer, passing a length of -1 will cause the method to use
    the offset of the first '\\0' byte after the pointer as the length; a length
    of -1 should only be passed if the method explicitly says it does this (in
    which case it is typically a default argument).
 
    \section2 Spacing Characters
 
    A frequent requirement is to remove spacing characters from a byte array
    (\c{'\n'}, \c{'\t'}, \c{' '}, etc.). If you want to remove spacing from both
    ends of a QByteArray, use trimmed(). If you want to also replace each run of
    spacing characters with a single space character within the byte array, use
    simplified(). Only ASCII spacing characters are recognized for these
    purposes.
 
    \section2 Number-String Conversions
 
    Functions that perform conversions between numeric data types and string
    representations are performed in the C locale, regardless of the user's
    locale settings. Use QLocale to perform locale-aware conversions between
    numbers and strings.
 
    \section2 Character Case
 
    In QByteArray, the notion of uppercase and lowercase and of case-independent
    comparison is limited to ASCII. Non-ASCII characters are treated as
    caseless, since their case depends on encoding. This affects functions that
    support a case insensitive option or that change the case of their
    arguments. Functions that this affects include compare(), isLower(),
    isUpper(), toLower() and toUpper().
 
    This issue does not apply to \l{QString}s since they represent characters
    using Unicode.

                                       in the input; invalid characters are simply skipped.
                                       This enum value has been added in Qt 5.15.

    contain the \a data pointer. The caller guarantees that \a data
    will not be deleted or modified as long as this QByteArray and any

    because QByteArray is an \l{implicitly shared} class and the
    instance returned by this function contains the \a data pointer,
    the caller must not delete \a data or modify it directly as long
    as the returned QByteArray and any copies exist. However,
    QByteArray does not take ownership of \a data, so the QByteArray
    destructor will never delete the raw \a data, even when the
    last QByteArray referring to \a data is destroyed.
 
    A subsequent attempt to modify the contents of the returned
    QByteArray or any copy made from it will cause it to create a deep
    copy of the \a data array before doing the modification. This
    ensures that the raw \a data array itself will never be modified
    by QByteArray.
