     * \brief Convert a stream of packed bytes or shorts to stream of unpacked bytes or shorts.
     * \ingroup byte_operators_blk
     *
     * \details
     * input: stream of unsigned char; output: stream of unsigned char
     *
     * This is the inverse of gr::blocks::unpacked_to_packed_XX.
     *
     * The bits in the bytes or shorts input stream are grouped into
     * chunks of \p bits_per_chunk bits and each resulting chunk is
     * written right- justified to the output stream of bytes or
     * shorts. All b or 16 bits of the each input bytes or short are
     * processed. The right thing is done if bits_per_chunk is not a
     * power of two.
     *
     * The combination of gr::blocks::packed_to_unpacked_XX_ followed by
     * gr_chunks_to_symbols_Xf or gr_chunks_to_symbols_Xc handles the
     * general case of mapping from a stream of bytes or shorts into
     * arbitrary float or complex symbols.
