No, I don't. The only thing I do there is
unsigned char *in = PG_GETARG_CSTRING(0);//"AABBCCDDEE1122";//
and return the pointer to the palloced constructed standard varlena
datum with

typedef struct
{
int4 length;
unsigned char data[1];
} image;

image *im = (image *) palloc(VARHDRSZ + out_len);
memset(im, 0, VARHDRSZ + out_len);
im->length = out_len + VARHDRSZ;
/* fill the im->data
.......
*/
PG_RETURN_POINTER(im);

Sergey
