    /// This type serves the primary purpose of being able to safely generate a

    /// type is a static guarantee that the underlying bytes contain no interior 0
    /// bytes and the final byte is 0.

    /// A `CString` is created from either a byte slice or a byte vector. After
    /// being created, a `CString` predominately inherits all of its methods from
    /// the `Deref` implementation to `[c_char]`. Note that the underlying array
    /// is represented as an array of `c_char` as opposed to `u8`. A `u8` slice
    /// can be obtained with the `as_bytes` method.  Slices produced from a `CString`
    /// do *not* contain the trailing nul terminator unless otherwise specified.
    ///
    /// # Examples
    ///
    /// ```no_run
    /// # fn main() {
    /// use std::ffi::CString;
    /// use std::os::raw::c_char;
    ///
    /// extern {
    ///     fn my_printer(s: *const c_char);
    /// }
    ///
    /// let c_to_print = CString::new("Hello, world!").unwrap();

    ///     my_printer(c_to_print.as_ptr());

    /// # }
    /// ```

    /// # Safety
    ///
    /// `CString` is intended for working with traditional C-style strings
    /// (a sequence of non-null bytes terminated by a single null byte); the
    /// primary use case for these kinds of strings is interoperating with C-like
    /// code. Often you will need to transfer ownership to/from that external
    /// code. It is strongly recommended that you thoroughly read through the

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
