.SH DESCRIPTION
.B libcolour_unmarshal
and its non-generic functions restores a
.I colour
from a
.IR buffer
and returns the number of bytes read.
If
.I colour
is
.BR NULL ,
no
.I colour
is restored, the same value is returned.
.P
If the stored colour uses a custom (not pre-defined)
RGB colour space with custom a transfer function,
the user must set them after calling any of
these functions.
.SH RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the number of bytes
read from
.I buffer
is returned.
On error, 0 is returned and
.I errno
is set to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.TP
.B EINVAL
The stored
.I .model
is not recognised.
