hi I have the following struct from kafka c lib

typedef struct rd_kafka_message_s {
      ...
	void   *payload;           /**< Producer: original message payload.
				    * Consumer: Depends on the value of \c err :
				    * - \c err==0: Message payload.
				    * - \c err!=0: Error string */
	size_t  len;               /**< Depends on the value of \c err :
				    * - \c err==0: Message payload length
				    * - \c err!=0: Error string length */
	...
} rd_kafka_message_t;

I am struggling to figure out how to read the payload to a bytearray from Kotlin
the interop binding gives me

public final var payload: kotlinx.cinterop.COpaquePointer? /* = kotlinx.cinterop.CPointer<out kotlinx.cinterop.CPointed>? */

public final var len: platform.posix.size_t /* = kotlin.ULong */

You can cast that payload to CPointer<Byte>. Then index it like you would an array.

[nerses]

by cast do you mean .reinterpret<ByteVar>()?

Yes
