C interface for bytes functionality #523
Description
Description
In #521, functionality was added to operate on raw bytes in the C++ and Python clients. This ticket is for the addition of a similar C interface for these byte operations.
Justification
In an effort to provide a uniform experience across all clients, the C interface for byte operations should be implemented. Additionally, the C interface is a prerequisite for implementing the Fortran interface.
Implementation Strategy
The C++ interface for the bytes operations uses only void* pointers. As a result, minimal adaptation should be needed for the C.
