        - Prefix the given string with the base so that ``0b`` means binary
          (base 2), ``0o`` means octal (base 8), and ``0x`` means hex (base 16).
          The prefix is considered only when ``base`` argument is not given and

        Valid input types are listed below:

        - ``text:`` Converts text to bytes character by character. All
          characters with ordinal below 256 can be used and are converted to
          bytes with same values. Many characters are easiest to represent
          using escapes like ``\\x00`` or ``\\xff``. Supports both Unicode
          strings and bytes.

        - ``int:`` Converts integers separated by spaces to bytes. Similarly as
          with `Convert To Integer`, it is possible to use binary, octal, or
          hex values by prefixing the values with ``0b``, ``0o``, or ``0x``,
          respectively.

        - ``hex:`` Converts hexadecimal values to bytes. Single byte is always
          two characters long (e.g. ``01`` or ``FF``). Spaces are ignored and
          can be used freely as a visual separator.

        - ``bin:`` Converts binary values to bytes. Single byte is always eight
          characters long (e.g. ``00001010``). Spaces are ignored and can be
          used freely as a visual separator.

        In addition to giving the input as a string, it is possible to use
        lists or other iterables containing individual characters or numbers.
        In that case numbers do not need to be padded to certain length and
        they cannot contain extra spaces.

        Examples (last column shows returned bytes):
        | ${bytes} = | Convert To Bytes | hyv\xe4    |     | # hyv\\xe4        |
        | ${bytes} = | Convert To Bytes | \\xff\\x07 |     | # \\xff\\x07      |
        | ${bytes} = | Convert To Bytes | 82 70      | int | # RF              |
        | ${bytes} = | Convert To Bytes | 0b10 0x10  | int | # \\x02\\x10      |
        | ${bytes} = | Convert To Bytes | ff 00 07   | hex | # \\xff\\x00\\x07 |
        | ${bytes} = | Convert To Bytes | 5246212121 | hex | # RF!!!           |

        """Creates and returns a dictionary based on the given ``items``.

        Items are typically given using the ``key=value`` syntax same way as
        ``&{dictionary}`` variables are created in the Variable table. Both
        keys and values can contain variables, and possible equal sign in key
        can be escaped with a backslash like ``escaped\\=key=value``. It is
        also possible to get items from existing dictionaries by simply using
        them like ``&{dict}``.

        Alternatively items can be specified so that keys and values are given
        separately. This and the ``key=value`` syntax can even be combined,
        but separately given items must be first.

        If same key is used multiple times, the last value has precedence.
        The returned dictionary is ordered, and values with strings as keys
        can also be accessed using a convenient dot-access syntax like
        ``${dict.key}``.

        Examples:
        | &{dict} = | Create Dictionary | key=value | foo=bar | | | # key=value syntax |
        | Should Be True | ${dict} == {'key': 'value', 'foo': 'bar'} |
        | &{dict2} = | Create Dictionary | key | value | foo | bar | # separate key and value |
        | Should Be Equal | ${dict} | ${dict2} |
        | &{dict} = | Create Dictionary | ${1}=${2} | &{dict} | foo=new | | # using variables |
        | Should Be True | ${dict} == {1: 2, 'key': 'value', 'foo': 'new'} |
        | Should Be Equal | ${dict.key} | value | | | | # dot-access |

        This keyword was changed in Robot Framework 2.9 in many ways:
        - Moved from ``Collections`` library to ``BuiltIn``.
        - Support also non-string keys in ``key=value`` syntax.
        - Returned dictionary is ordered and dot-accessible.
        - Old syntax to give keys and values separately was deprecated, but
          deprecation was later removed in RF 3.0.1.

        The default error message (``<condition> should be true``) is not very

        As discussed in the documentation of `Convert To Number`, machines
        generally cannot store floating point numbers accurately. Because of
        this limitation, comparing floats for equality is problematic and
        a correct approach to use depends on the context. This keyword uses
        a very naive approach of rounding the numbers before comparing them,
        which is both prone to rounding errors and does not work very well if
        numbers are really big or small. For more information about comparing
        floats, and ideas on how to implement your own context specific
        comparison algorithm, see
        http://randomascii.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/comparing-floating-point-numbers-2012-edition/.

        Variables are returned as a special dictionary that allows accessing

        as accessing variables in the test data. This dictionary supports all
        same operations as normal Python dictionaries and, for example,

        returned dictionary has no effect on the variables available in the

        By default variables are returned with ``${}``, ``@{}`` or ``&{}``
        decoration based on variable types. Giving a true value (see `Boolean

        the variables without the decoration. This option is new in Robot

        Variables set with this keyword are available everywhere within the
        scope of the currently executed test suite. Setting variables with this
        keyword thus has the same effect as creating them using the Variable
        table in the test data file or importing them from variable files.

        Possible child test suites do not see variables set with this keyword
        by default. Starting from Robot Framework 2.9, that can be controlled
        by using ``children=<option>`` as the last argument. If the specified
        ``<option>`` is a non-empty string or any other value considered true
        in Python, the variable is set also to the child suites. Parent and
        sibling suites will never see variables set with this keyword.

        The name of the variable can be given either as a normal variable name
        (e.g. ``${NAME}``) or in escaped format as ``\\${NAME}`` or ``$NAME``.
        Variable value can be given using the same syntax as when variables
        are created in the Variable table.

        If a variable already exists within the new scope, its value will be
        overwritten. Otherwise a new variable is created. If a variable already
        exists within the current scope, the value can be left empty and the
        variable within the new scope gets the value within the current scope.

        Examples:
        | Set Suite Variable | ${SCALAR} | Hello, world! |
        | Set Suite Variable | ${SCALAR} | Hello, world! | children=true |
        | Set Suite Variable | @{LIST}   | First item    | Second item   |
        | Set Suite Variable | &{DICT}   | key=value     | foo=bar       |
        | ${ID} =            | Get ID    |
        | Set Suite Variable | ${ID}     |

        To override an existing value with an empty value, use built-in
        variables ``${EMPTY}``, ``@{EMPTY}`` or ``&{EMPTY}``:

        | Set Suite Variable | ${SCALAR} | ${EMPTY} |
        | Set Suite Variable | @{LIST}   | @{EMPTY} |
        | Set Suite Variable | &{DICT}   | &{EMPTY} |

        *NOTE:* If the variable has value which itself is a variable (escaped
        or not), you must always use the escaped format to set the variable:

        Example:
        | ${NAME} =          | Set Variable | \\${var} |
        | Set Suite Variable | ${NAME}      | value | # Sets variable ${var}  |
        | Set Suite Variable | \\${NAME}    | value | # Sets variable ${NAME} |

        This limitation applies also to `Set Test Variable`, `Set Global

        name of the keyword to execute and then its possible arguments. ELSE
        IF branches must first contain a condition, like the first argument
        to this keyword, and then the keyword to execute and its possible
        arguments. It is possible to have ELSE branch after ELSE IF and to
        have multiple ELSE IF branches. Nested `Run Keyword If` usage is not
        supported when using ELSE and/or ELSE IF branches.

        Given previous example, if/else construct can also be created like this:
        | ${status} | ${value} = | `Run Keyword And Ignore Error` | `My Keyword` |
        | `Run Keyword If` | '${status}' == 'PASS' | `Some Action` | arg | ELSE | `Another Action` |

        The return value of this keyword is the return value of the actually
        executed keyword or Python ``None`` if no keyword was executed (i.e.
        if ``condition`` was false). Hence, it is recommended to use ELSE
        and/or ELSE IF branches to conditionally assign return values from
        keyword to variables (see `Set Variable If` if you need to set fixed
        values conditionally). This is illustrated by the example below:

        | ${var1} =   | `Run Keyword If` | ${rc} == 0     | `Some keyword returning a value` |
        | ...         | ELSE IF          | 0 < ${rc} < 42 | `Another keyword` |
        | ...         | ELSE IF          | ${rc} < 0      | `Another keyword with args` | ${rc} | arg2 |
        | ...         | ELSE             | `Final keyword to handle abnormal cases` | ${rc} |
        | ${var2} =   | `Run Keyword If` | ${condition}  | `Some keyword` |

        In this example, ${var2} will be set to ``None`` if ${condition} is
        false.

        Notice that ``ELSE`` and ``ELSE IF`` control words must be used
        explicitly and thus cannot come from variables. If you need to use
        literal ``ELSE`` and ``ELSE IF`` strings as arguments, you can escape
        them with a backslash like ``\\ELSE`` and ``\\ELSE IF``.

        Python's [http://docs.python.org/library/os.html|os] and
        [http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html|sys] modules are
        automatically imported when evaluating the ``condition``.
        Attributes they contain can thus be used in the condition:

        | `Run Keyword If` | os.sep == '/' | `Unix Keyword`        |
        | ...              | ELSE IF       | sys.platform.startswith('java') | `Jython Keyword` |

        - When used in any setup or teardown (suite, test or keyword), passes
          that setup or teardown. Possible keyword teardowns of the started
          keywords are executed. Does not affect execution or statuses

        - When used in a test outside setup or teardown, passes that particular

        Possible continuable failures before this keyword is used, as well as
        failures in executed teardowns, will fail the execution.

        It is mandatory to give a message explaining why execution was passed.
        By default the message is considered plain text, but starting it with
        ``*HTML*`` allows using HTML formatting.

        It is also possible to modify test tags passing tags after the message
        similarly as with `Fail` keyword. Tags starting with a hyphen
        (e.g. ``-regression``) are removed and others added. Tags are modified
        using `Set Tags` and `Remove Tags` internally, and the semantics
        setting and removing them are the same as with these keywords.

        Examples:
        | Pass Execution | All features available in this version tested. |

        parts that could actually uncover problems in the tested application.

        pseudo log level. It logs the message as HTML using the INFO level.

        If the ``console`` argument is true, the message will be written to
        the console where test execution was started from in addition to
        the log file. This keyword always uses the standard output stream
        and adds a newline after the written message. Use `Log To Console`
        instead if either of these is undesirable,

        If the ``repr`` argument is true, the given item will be passed through
        a custom version of Python's ``pprint.pformat()`` function before
        logging it. This is useful, for example, when working with strings or
        bytes containing invisible characters, or when working with nested data
        structures. The custom version differs from the standard one so that it
        omits the ``u`` prefix from Unicode strings and adds ``b`` prefix to
        byte strings on Python 2.

        Examples:
        | Log | Hello, world!        |          |   | # Normal INFO message.   |
        | Log | Warning, world!      | WARN     |   | # Warning.               |
        | Log | <b>Hello</b>, world! | html=yes |   | # INFO message as HTML.  |
        | Log | <b>Hello</b>, world! | HTML     |   | # Same as above.         |
        | Log | <b>Hello</b>, world! | DEBUG    | html=true | # DEBUG as HTML. |

        | Log | Hyv\xe4 \\x00     | repr=yes    | | # Log ``'Hyv\\xe4 \\x00'``. |

        How time is returned is determined based on the given ``format``
        string as follows. Note that all checks are case-insensitive.

        1) If ``format`` contains the word ``epoch``, the time is returned
           in seconds after the UNIX epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC).
           The return value is always an integer.

        2) If ``format`` contains any of the words ``year``, ``month``,
           ``day``, ``hour``, ``min``, or ``sec``, only the selected parts are
           returned. The order of the returned parts is always the one
           in the previous sentence and the order of words in ``format``
           is not significant. The parts are returned as zero-padded
           strings (e.g. May -> ``05``).

        3) Otherwise (and by default) the time is returned as a
           timestamp string in the format ``2006-02-24 15:08:31``.

        By default this keyword returns the current local time, but
        that can be altered using ``time`` argument as explained below.
        Note that all checks involving strings are case-insensitive.

        1) If ``time`` is a number, or a string that can be converted to
           a number, it is interpreted as seconds since the UNIX epoch.
           This documentation was originally written about 1177654467
           seconds after the epoch.

        2) If ``time`` is a timestamp, that time will be used. Valid
           timestamp formats are ``YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss`` and
           ``YYYYMMDD hhmmss``.

        3) If ``time`` is equal to ``NOW`` (default), the current local
           time is used.

        4) If ``time`` is equal to ``UTC``, the current time in
           [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time|UTC]
           is used.

        5) If ``time`` is in the format like ``NOW - 1 day`` or ``UTC + 1 hour
           30 min``, the current local/UTC time plus/minus the time
           specified with the time string is used. The time string format
           is described in an appendix of Robot Framework User Guide.

class BuiltIn(_Verify, _Converter, _Variables, _RunKeyword, _Control, _Misc):
    """An always available standard library with often needed keywords.

    ``BuiltIn`` is Robot Framework's standard library that provides a set
    of generic keywords needed often. It is imported automatically and
    thus always available. The provided keywords can be used, for example,
    for verifications (e.g. `Should Be Equal`, `Should Contain`),
    conversions (e.g. `Convert To Integer`) and for various other purposes
    (e.g. `Log`, `Sleep`, `Run Keyword If`, `Set Global Variable`).

    == Table of contents ==

    - `HTML error messages`
    - `Evaluating expressions`
    - `Boolean arguments`
    - `Pattern matching`
    - `Multiline string comparisons`
    - `Shortcuts`
    - `Keywords`

    = HTML error messages =

    Many of the keywords accept an optional error message to use if the keyword
    fails, and it is possible to use HTML in these messages by prefixing them
    with ``*HTML*``. See `Fail` keyword for a usage example. Notice that using
    HTML in messages is not limited to BuiltIn library but works with any
    error message.

    = Evaluating expressions =

    Many keywords, such as `Evaluate`, `Run Keyword If` and `Should Be True`,
    accept an expression that is evaluated in Python. These expressions are
    evaluated using Python's
    [http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#eval|eval] function so
    that all Python built-ins like ``len()`` and ``int()`` are available.
    `Evaluate` allows configuring the execution namespace with custom modules,
    and other keywords have [http://docs.python.org/library/os.html|os]
    and [http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html|sys] modules available
    automatically.

    Examples:
    | `Run Keyword If` | os.sep == '/' | Log                  | Not on Windows |
    | ${random int} =  | `Evaluate`    | random.randint(0, 5) | modules=random |

    When a variable is used in the expressing using the normal ``${variable}``
    syntax, its value is replaces before the expression is evaluated. This
    means that the value used in the expression will be the string
    representation of the variable value, not the variable value itself.
    This is not a problem with numbers and other objects that have a string
    representation that can be evaluated directly, but with other objects
    the behavior depends on the string representation. Most importantly,
    strings must always be quoted, and if they can contain newlines, they must
    be triple quoted.

    Examples:
    | `Should Be True` | ${rc} < 10                | Return code greater than 10 |
    | `Run Keyword If` | '${status}' == 'PASS'     | Log | Passed                |
    | `Run Keyword If` | 'FAIL' in '''${output}''' | Log | Output contains FAIL  |

    Starting from Robot Framework 2.9, variables themselves are automatically
    available in the evaluation namespace. They can be accessed using special
    variable syntax without the curly braces like ``$variable``. These
    variables should never be quoted, and in fact they are not even replaced
    inside strings.

    Examples:
    | `Should Be True` | $rc < 10          | Return code greater than 10  |
    | `Run Keyword If` | $status == 'PASS' | `Log` | Passed               |
    | `Run Keyword If` | 'FAIL' in $output | `Log` | Output contains FAIL |
    | `Should Be True` | len($result) > 1 and $result[1] == 'OK' |

    Using the ``$variable`` syntax slows down expression evaluation a little.
    This should not typically matter, but should be taken into account if
    complex expressions are evaluated often and there are strict time
    constrains.

    Notice that instead of creating complicated expressions, it is often better
    to move the logic into a test library. That eases maintenance and can also
    enhance execution speed.

    = Boolean arguments =

    Some keywords accept arguments that are handled as Boolean values true or
    false. If such an argument is given as a string, it is considered false if
    it is an empty string or equal to ``FALSE``, ``NONE``, ``NO``, ``OFF`` or
    ``0``, case-insensitively. Keywords verifying something that allow dropping
    actual and expected values from the possible error message also consider
    string ``no values`` to be false. Other strings are considered true
    regardless their value, and other argument types are tested using the same
    [http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#truth|rules as in Python].

    True examples:
    | `Should Be Equal` | ${x} | ${y}  | Custom error | values=True    | # Strings are generally true.    |
    | `Should Be Equal` | ${x} | ${y}  | Custom error | values=yes     | # Same as the above.             |
    | `Should Be Equal` | ${x} | ${y}  | Custom error | values=${TRUE} | # Python ``True`` is true.       |
    | `Should Be Equal` | ${x} | ${y}  | Custom error | values=${42}   | # Numbers other than 0 are true. |

    False examples:
    | `Should Be Equal` | ${x} | ${y}  | Custom error | values=False     | # String ``false`` is false.   |
    | `Should Be Equal` | ${x} | ${y}  | Custom error | values=no        | # Also string ``no`` is false. |
    | `Should Be Equal` | ${x} | ${y}  | Custom error | values=${EMPTY}  | # Empty string is false.       |
    | `Should Be Equal` | ${x} | ${y}  | Custom error | values=${FALSE}  | # Python ``False`` is false.   |
    | `Should Be Equal` | ${x} | ${y}  | Custom error | values=no values | # ``no values`` works with ``values`` argument |

    Considering string ``NONE`` false is new in Robot Framework 3.0.3 and
    considering also ``OFF`` and ``0`` false is new in Robot Framework 3.1.

    = Pattern matching =

    Many keywords accepts arguments as either glob or regular expression
    patterns.

    == Glob patterns ==

    Some keywords, for example `Should Match`, support so called
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)|glob patterns] where:

    | ``*``        | matches any string, even an empty string                |
    | ``?``        | matches any single character                            |
    | ``[chars]``  | matches one character in the bracket                    |
    | ``[!chars]`` | matches one character not in the bracket                |
    | ``[a-z]``    | matches one character from the range in the bracket     |
    | ``[!a-z]``   | matches one character not from the range in the bracket |

    Unlike with glob patterns normally, path separator characters ``/`` and
    ``\\`` and the newline character ``\\n`` are matches by the above
    wildcards.

    Support for brackets like ``[abc]`` and ``[!a-z]`` is new in
    Robot Framework 3.1

    == Regular expressions ==

    Some keywords, for example `Should Match Regexp`, support
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression|regular expressions]
    that are more powerful but also more complicated that glob patterns.
    The regular expression support is implemented using Python's
    [http://docs.python.org/library/re.html|re module] and its documentation
    should be consulted for more information about the syntax.

    Because the backslash character (``\\``) is an escape character in
    Robot Framework test data, possible backslash characters in regular
    expressions need to be escaped with another backslash like ``\\\\d\\\\w+``.
    Strings that may contain special characters but should be handled
    as literal strings, can be escaped with the `Regexp Escape` keyword.

    = Multiline string comparisons =

    `Should Be Equal` and `Should Be Equal As Strings` report the failures using
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff_utility#Unified_format|unified diff
    format] if both strings have more than two lines. New in Robot Framework
    2.9.1.

    Example:
    | ${first} =  | `Catenate` | SEPARATOR=\\n | Not in second | Same | Differs | Same |
    | ${second} = | `Catenate` | SEPARATOR=\\n | Same | Differs2 | Same | Not in first |
    | `Should Be Equal` | ${first} | ${second} |

    Results in the following error message:

    `deprecation_warning=False` to avoid related deprecation warnings.

    1) Why is this method needed

    Keywords running other keywords internally (normally using `Run Keyword`
    or some variants of it in BuiltIn) must have the arguments meant to the
    internally executed keyword handled specially to prevent processing them
    twice. This is done ONLY for keywords registered using this method.

    If the register keyword has same name as any keyword from Robot Framework
    standard libraries, it can be used without getting warnings. Normally
    there is a warning in such cases unless the keyword is used in long
    format (e.g. MyLib.Keyword).

    Keywords executed by registered run keywords can be tested in dry-run mode
    if they have 'name' argument which takes the name of the executed keyword.

    2) How to use this method

    `library` is the name of the library where the registered keyword is
    implemented.

    `keyword` can be either a function or method implementing the
    keyword, or name of the implemented keyword as a string.

    `args_to_process` is needed when `keyword` is given as a string, and it
    defines how many of the arguments to the registered keyword must be
