Access Underlying cbor bytes about libcbor

[PJK]

Could you please illustrate this with an example? Do you need to get the original header byte that specifies the main type?

(You can get any semantic information using http://libcbor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/item_types.html#_CPPv211cbor_typeofPK11cbor_item_t and the relevant methods for that type, e.g. http://libcbor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/type_4.html#getting-metadata)

I found a workaround by using cbor_serialize(). The original type is not the problem, but I wanted to original cbor for an array and it enclosed data items. With cbor_serialize it works fine, thanks!
