    tf.compat.v1.decode_raw(
        input_bytes=None, out_type=None, little_endian=True, name=None, bytes=None
    )

> [!WARNING]
> **Deprecated:** SOME ARGUMENTS ARE DEPRECATED: `(bytes)`. They will be removed in a future version. Instructions for updating: bytes is deprecated, use input_bytes instead

| ## Args ||
|---|---|
| `input_bytes` | Each element of the input Tensor is converted to an array of bytes. |
| `out_type` | `DType` of the output. Acceptable types are `half`, `float`, `double`, `int32`, `uint16`, `uint8`, `int16`, `int8`, `int64`. |
| `little_endian` | Whether the `input_bytes` data is in little-endian format. Data will be converted into host byte order if necessary. |
| `name` | A name for the operation (optional). |
| `bytes` | Deprecated parameter. Use `input_bytes` instead. |

<br />

<br />

<br />

| ## Returns ||
|---|---|
| A `Tensor` object storing the decoded bytes. ||
