  \end{funcdesc}
   
+ \begin{funcdesc}{b2a_hex}{data}
+ Return the hexadecimal representation of the binary \var{data}.  Every
+ byte of \var{data} is converted into the corresponding 2-digit hex
+ representation.  The resulting string is therefore, twice as long as
+ the length of \var{data}.  This function is also available as
+ \function{hexlify()}.
+ \end{funcdesc}
+ 
+ \begin{funcdesc}{a2b_hex}{hexstr}
+ Return the binary data represented by the hexadecimal string
+ \var{hexstr}.  This function is the inverse of \function{b2a_hex()}.
+ \var{hexstr} must contain an even number of hexadecimal digits (which
+ can be upper or lower case), otherwise a \exception{TypeError} is
+ raised.  This function is also available as \function{unhexlify()}.
+ 
  \begin{excdesc}{Error}
  Exception raised on errors. These are usually programming errors.
