initWithBytesN

"initWithBytesN" is an initializer method commonly found in Objective-C and Swift for creating data objects from raw byte data. It is typically used to create instances of classes like `NSData` or `NSMutableData`. The method takes two primary arguments: a pointer to the memory location containing the byte data and the number of bytes to copy.

The purpose of "initWithBytesN" is to encapsulate a block of raw memory into a managed data object. This allows developers to work with binary data in a more structured and object-oriented manner, rather than dealing directly with memory addresses and sizes. When this initializer is called, the object created will typically make a copy of the provided byte data, ensuring that the original memory can be modified or deallocated without affecting the data object itself.

This method is essential when dealing with data that is not necessarily text-based, such as images, audio files, encrypted information, or network protocols. By providing a pointer to the start of the data and its length, "initWithBytesN" creates an immutable or mutable data container that can then be further processed, transmitted, or stored. The "N" in the method name often signifies "number," referring to the count of bytes.
