Examples
--------
Load the C library:
>>> _lib = np.ctypeslib.load_library('libmystuff', '.') #doctest: +SKIP
Our result type, an ndarray that must be of type double, be 1-dimensional
and is C-contiguous in memory:
>>> array_1d_double = np.ctypeslib.ndpointer(
... dtype=np.double,
... ndim=1, flags='CONTIGUOUS') #doctest: +SKIP
Our C-function typically takes an array and updates its values
in-place. For example::
void foo_func(double* x, int length)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < length; i++) {
x[i] = i*i;
}
}
We wrap it using:
>>> _lib.foo_func.restype = None #doctest: +SKIP
>>> _lib.foo_func.argtypes = [array_1d_double, c_int] #doctest: +SKIP
Then, we're ready to call ``foo_func``:
>>> out = np.empty(15, dtype=np.double)
>>> _lib.foo_func(out, len(out)) #doctest: +SKIP

"""
Array-checking restype/argtypes.
An ndpointer instance is used to describe an ndarray in restypes
and argtypes specifications. This approach is more flexible than
using, for example, ``POINTER(c_double)``, since several restrictions
can be specified, which are verified upon calling the ctypes function.
These include data type, number of dimensions, shape and flags. If a
given array does not satisfy the specified restrictions,
a ``TypeError`` is raised.
Parameters
----------
dtype : data-type, optional
Array data-type.
ndim : int, optional
Number of array dimensions.
shape : tuple of ints, optional
Array shape.
flags : str or tuple of str
Array flags; may be one or more of:
- C_CONTIGUOUS / C / CONTIGUOUS
- F_CONTIGUOUS / F / FORTRAN
- OWNDATA / O
- WRITEABLE / W
- ALIGNED / A
- WRITEBACKIFCOPY / X
- UPDATEIFCOPY / U
Returns
-------
klass : ndpointer type object
A type object, which is an ``_ndtpr`` instance containing
dtype, ndim, shape and flags information.
Raises
------
TypeError
If a given array does not satisfy the specified restrictions.
