+"""
+This module contains types that directly correspond to the libretro API,
+
+All ``retro_`` classes in this package are ctypes wrappers around their equivalents in
+`libretro-common <https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/master/libretro-common/include/libretro.h>`_.
+
+Unless otherwise noted, all structs can be copied with ``copy.deepcopy``;
+the struct itself and its fields (including strings and buffers) are all deep-copied.
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+        import copy
+        from libretro.api import retro_controller_description
+
+        desc = retro_controller_description(b'Game Pad', 5)
+        desc_copy = copy.deepcopy(desc)
+
+        assert desc == desc_copy
+
+        desc.desc = b'Another Game Pad'
+        assert desc != desc_copy
+
+Additionally, all `c_char_p` fields are converted to Python `bytes` objects when accessed.
