<p>This type serves the primary purpose of being able to safely generate a
C-compatible string from a Rust byte slice or vector. An instance of this
type is a static guarantee that the underlying bytes contain no interior 0
bytes and the final byte is 0.</p>
<p>A <code>CString</code> is created from either a byte slice or a byte vector. After
being created, a <code>CString</code> predominately inherits all of its methods from
the <code>Deref</code> implementation to <code>[c_char]</code>. Note that the underlying array
is represented as an array of <code>c_char</code> as opposed to <code>u8</code>. A <code>u8</code> slice
can be obtained with the <code>as_bytes</code> method. Slices produced from a <code>CString</code>
do <em>not</em> contain the trailing nul terminator unless otherwise specified.</p>

<p><code>CString</code> 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
documentation of <code>CString</code> before use, as improper ownership management
of <code>CString</code> instances can lead to invalid memory accesses, memory leaks,
and other memory errors.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
