\begin{funcdesc}{b2a_hex}{data}
+\funcline{hexlify}{data}
Return the hexadecimal representation of the binary \var{data}. Every
byte of \var{data} is converted into the corresponding 2-digit hex
-representation. The resulting string is therefore, twice as long as
-the length of \var{data}. This function is also available as
-\function{hexlify()}.

\begin{funcdesc}{a2b_hex}{hexstr}
+\funcline{unhexlify}{hexstr}
Return the binary data represented by the hexadecimal string
\var{hexstr}. This function is the inverse of \function{b2a_hex()}.
\var{hexstr} must contain an even number of hexadecimal digits (which
can be upper or lower case), otherwise a \exception{TypeError} is
-raised. This function is also available as \function{unhexlify()}.

\begin{excdesc}{Error}
Exception raised on errors. These are usually programming errors.
