    /// A type representing an owned, C-compatible, nul-terminated string with no nul bytes in the
    /// middle.
    ///
    /// This type serves the 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 ("nul characters") and that the final byte is 0 ("nul terminator").
    ///
    /// `CString` is to [`CStr`] as [`String`] is to [`&str`]: the former
    /// in each pair are owned strings; the latter are borrowed
    /// references.
    ///
    /// # Creating a `CString`
    ///
    /// A `CString` is created from either a byte slice or a byte vector,
    /// or anything that implements [`Into`]`<`[`Vec`]`<`[`u8`]`>>` (for
    /// example, you can build a `CString` straight out of a [`String`] or
    /// a [`&str`], since both implement that trait).
    ///
    /// The [`new`] method will actually check that the provided `&[u8]`
    /// does not have 0 bytes in the middle, and return an error if it
    /// finds one.
    ///
    /// # Extracting a raw pointer to the whole C string
    ///
    /// `CString` implements a [`as_ptr`] method through the [`Deref`]
    /// trait. This method will give you a `*const c_char` which you can
    /// feed directly to extern functions that expect a nul-terminated
    /// string, like C's `strdup()`.
    ///
    /// # Extracting a slice of the whole C string
    ///
    /// Alternatively, you can obtain a `&[`[`u8`]`]` slice from a
    /// `CString` with the [`as_bytes`] method. Slices produced in this
    /// way do *not* contain the trailing nul terminator. This is useful
    /// when you will be calling an extern function that takes a `*const
    /// u8` argument which is not necessarily nul-terminated, plus another
    /// argument with the length of the string — like C's `strndup()`.
    /// You can of course get the slice's length with its
    /// [`len`][slice.len] method.
    ///
    /// If you need a `&[`[`u8`]`]` slice *with* the nul terminator, you
    /// can use [`as_bytes_with_nul`] instead.
    ///
    /// Once you have the kind of slice you need (with or without a nul
    /// terminator), you can call the slice's own
    /// [`as_ptr`][slice.as_ptr] method to get a raw pointer to pass to
    /// extern functions. See the documentation for that function for a
    /// discussion on ensuring the lifetime of the raw pointer.

## 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`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
