I have trouble believing that method could be exactly what anybody is looking for, unless you're implementing your own old-style binary plist parser, which is nobody.

The cursor value going in should be the location (index) at which to begin deserialization, and after the method returns will be the location up to which the deserialization read. Note that bytes to be "deserialized" are expected to be in serialized format. If you don't know what that last means, they probably aren't.

Hello. Can anyone help me with NSData's deserializeBytes:length:atCursor: method? It's exactly what i've been looking for, but i'm having trouble getting it to work.

- (void)deserializeBytes:(void *)buffer length:(unsigned)bytes atCursor:(unsigned *)cursor

i have a char* array i'm using for the 'buffer' argument, and an unsigned int for 'bytes', but i'm not sure exactly how to do 'cursor'. is it a pointer to an unsigned int? where should it start, the address of the NSData objects' data or 0? The documentation is exceptionally sparse for this one. Examples would be great. thanks again.
