NSData initWithBytes length example in Objective C (iOS).

NSData initWithBytes length

Returns a data object initialized by adding to it a given number of bytes of data copied from a given buffer.

- (id)initWithBytes:(const void *)bytes length:(NSUInteger)length

Discussion of [NSData initWithBytes length]
A data object initialized by adding to it length bytes of data copied from the buffer bytes. The returned object might be different than the original receiver.

NSData initWithBytes length example.

//This is just mock up data to represent what would be passed into your method
unsigned char ch1[] = { 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x04, 0x01, 0x00, 0x0F };
NSData *data1 = [[NSData alloc] initWithBytes:ch1
                                       length:sizeof(ch1)];
//This is the data used for the comparison
NSData *data2 = [[NSData alloc] initWithBytes:(unsigned char[]){0x04, 0x01, 0x00}
                                       length:3];

NSRange range = [data1 rangeOfData:data2
                           options:0
                             range:NSMakeRange(0, [data1 length])];

if(range.location != NSNotFound)
{
     NSLog(@"Found pattern!");
}

Example of [NSData initWithBytes length].

cat.catName = (catName)?[NSString stringWithUTF8String:catName]:@"";
NSData *dataForCachedImage = [[NSData alloc] initWithBytes:sqlite3_column_blob(statement, 2) length: sqlite3_column_bytes(statement, 2)];          
cat.catThumb = [UIImage imageWithData:dataForCachedImage];
[dataForCachedImage release];

NSData initWithBytes length example.

Here's how I've done that before:

UInt8 j= 0x0f;
NSData *data = [[[NSData alloc] initWithBytes:&j length:sizeof(j)] autorelease];
