@DeprecatedSinceKotlin("1.9") fun ImmutableBlob.asCPointer(
    offset: Int = 0
): CPointer<ByteVar>

(source)

Deprecated: ImmutableBlob is deprecated. Use ByteArray instead. To get a stable C pointer to a `ByteArray`, pin it first.

Returns stable C pointer to data at certain offset, useful as a way to pass resource to C APIs.

ImmutableBlob is deprecated since Kotlin 1.9. It is recommended to use ByteArray instead. To get a stable C pointer to ByteArray data the array needs to be pinned first.

byteArray.usePinned {
    val cpointer = it.addressOf(offset)
    // use the stable C pointer
}
