Further information
1. This function calls directly the
fromstring routine of the module (See section
Table of types). It is therefore recommended to check whether the type supports this functionality before using this function (see
gettypeprop).
2. The flag
XPRM_TFSTR_BIN might be added to the type code in order to process a binary representation of the object. In this mode the
end pointer must reference the first byte after the data buffer (such that
*end-str is the size of the buffer).
