/// A type representing an owned C-compatible string
///
/// 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.
///
/// 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 `[libc::c_char]`. Note that the underlying
/// array is represented as an array of `libc::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.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```no_run
/// # extern crate libc;
/// # fn main() {
/// use std::ffi::CString;
/// use libc;
///
/// extern {
/// fn my_printer(s: *const libc::c_char);
/// }
///
/// let to_print = b"Hello, world!";
/// let c_to_print = CString::new(to_print).unwrap();
/// unsafe {
/// my_printer(c_to_print.as_ptr());
/// }
/// # }
/// ```

/// Representation of a borrowed C string.
///
/// This dynamically sized type is only safely constructed via a borrowed
/// version of an instance of `CString`. This type can be constructed from a raw
/// C string as well and represents a C string borrowed from another location.
///
/// Note that this structure is **not** `repr(C)` and is not recommended to be
/// placed in the signatures of FFI functions. Instead safe wrappers of FFI
/// functions may leverage the unsafe `from_ptr` constructor to provide a safe
/// interface to other consumers.
