class BinTableHDU(data = None, header = None, name = None, uint = False, ver = None, character_as_bytes = False)

Binary table HDU class.

data : array, `FITS_rec`, or `~astropy.table.Table`: Data to be used.
header : `Header`: Header to be used.
name : str: Name to be populated in EXTNAME keyword.
uint : bool, optional: Set to True if the table contains unsigned integer columns.
ver : int > 0 or None, optional: The ver of the HDU, will be the value of the keyword EXTVER. If not given or None, it defaults to the value of the EXTVER card of the header or 1. (default: None)
character_as_bytes : bool: Whether to return bytes for string columns. By default this is False and (unicode) strings are returned, but this does not respect memory mapping and loads the whole column in memory when accessed.
