<p>These routines allow C code to work with serialized objects using the same
data format as the <a class="reference internal" href="../library/marshal.html#module-marshal" title="marshal: Convert Python objects to streams of bytes and back (with different constraints)."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">marshal</span></code></a> module. There are functions to write data
into the serialization format, and additional functions that can be used to
read the data back. Files used to store marshalled data must be opened in
binary mode.</p>
<p>Numeric values are stored with the least significant byte first.</p>
<p>The module supports two versions of the data format: version 0 is the
historical version, version 1 shares interned strings in the file, and upon
unmarshalling. Version 2 uses a binary format for floating point numbers.
<em>Py_MARSHAL_VERSION</em> indicates the current file format (currently 2).</p>
