+# QtCore Bindings #
+
+The package `qtcore` 
+contains bindings for classes defined by the Qt module
+[QtCore](http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qtcore.html).
+
+Besides the capabilites reported below,
+all qt variants inherit a set 
+of [default methods](..:qt:index#qt.QVariants),
+and all qt object classes inherit the capabilities from their 
+superclasses and automatically expose 
+[properties, slots and signals](..:qt:index#qt.QObjects).
+
+
+<a name="qbytearray"/>
+## qt.QByteArray ##
+
+Class `qt.QByteArray` represents Qt values of type 
+[QByteArray](http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qbytearray.html).
+These values are special because lua strings
+are automatically converted to QByteArray objects 
+when such objects are needed.

+<a name="qbytearray"/>
+### qt.QByteArray(arg) ###
+
+Expression `qt.QByteArray(arg)` returns a new byte array object.

-slots, signals and properties.
-
-Example:
-<file lua>
-require 'qt'
-timer = qt.QTimer()
-timer.singleShot = true
-qt.connect(timer,'timeout()', function() print("timeout") end)
-timer:start(2000) -- wait for 2 seconds...
-</file>
-
-
-====  qt.QTimer(parent) ==== 
-{{anchor:qtimer}}
-
-Expression ''qt.QTimer(parent)'' returns a 
-new ''QTimer'' object created from the current thread.
-Argument ''parent'' optionally specifies its parent.
-Note that the parent object must belong to the current thread as well.
-When argument ''parent'' is not specified, 
-the new timer is owned by the Lua interpreter
-and will be deleted by the Lua garbage collector
-when it is no longer referenced.

-
-=====  qt.QUrl =====
-{{anchor:qurl}}
-
-Class ''qt.QStringList'' represents Qt values of type 
-[[http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qurl.html|QUrl]] 
-containing an URL.
-
-====  qt.QUrl(string) === 
-{{anchor:qurl}}
-
-Expression ''qt.QUrl(string)'' returns a 
-QUrl object from string ''string''.
-
-====  qurl:tostring() === 
-{{anchor:qurl.tostring}}
-
-Expression ''qurl:tostring()'' returns a string 
-describing the QUrl object ''qurl''.
-
-====  qurl.fromlocalfile(s) === 
-
-Returns a file url associated with the file named s.
-
-====  qurl:tolocalfile() === 
-{{anchor:qurl.tolocalfile}}
-
-If the url describes a local file, 
-expression ''qurl:tolocalfile()'' returns a string 
-describing the local filename associated with the url.
-Otherwise it returns nil.
-
-
-=====  qt.QVariantList =====
-{{anchor:qvariantlist}}
-
-Class ''qt.QVariantList'' represents Qt values of type 
-[[http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qvariant.html#QVariantList-typedef|QVariantList]] 
-containing a list of values represented by class 
-[[http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qvariant.html|QVariant]].
-
-====  qt.QVariantList(table) ==== 
-{{anchor:qvariantlist}}
-
-Expression ''qt.QVariantList(table)'' creates a new ''QVariantList''
-initialized with the strings contained in 
-table ''table'' at positions ''1'' to ''#table''.  
-When the argument ''table'' is omitted, 
-an empty string list is returned.
-
-Example
-<file lua>
- require 'qt'
- a = qt.QVariantList{"a",32}
-</file>
-
-====  qvariantlist:totable() ==== 
-{{anchor:qvariantlist.totable}}
-
-Expression ''qvariantlist:totable()'' returns a Lua table
-containing the elements of ''qstringlist'' starting at position ''1''.
-
-Example
-<file lua>
- require 'qt'
- a = qt.QVariantList{"a",2,3,4}
- return a:totable()[2]
-</file>
-
-
-=====  qt.QVariantMap =====
-{{anchor:qvariantmap}}
-
-Class ''qt.QVariantList'' represents Qt values of type 
-[[http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qvariant.html#QVariantMap-typedef|QVariantMap]] 
-containing a dictionary of named values represented by class 
-[[http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qvariant.html|QVariant]].
-
-
-====  qt.QVariantMap(table) ==== 
-{{anchor:qvariantmap}}
-
-Expression ''qt.QVariantMap(table)'' creates a new ''QVariantMap''
-initialized with the contents of the table ''table''.
-When the argument ''table'' is omitted, 
-an empty map is returned.
-
-Example
-<file lua>
- require 'qt'
- a = qt.QVariantMap{a=23,b=45,c="foo"}
-</file>
-
-====  qvariantmap:totable() ==== 
-{{anchor:qvariantmap.totable}}
-
-Expression ''qvariantmap:totable()'' returns a Lua table
-containing the contents of the dictonary ''qvariantmap''.
-
-Example
-<file lua>
- require 'qt'
- a = qt.QVariantMap{a=23,b=45,c="foo"}
- t = a:totable()
- return t.c
-</file>
