/// This type represents a borrowed reference to a nul-terminated
/// array of bytes. It can be constructed safely from a <code>&[[u8]]</code>
/// slice, or unsafely from a raw `*const c_char`. It can be expressed as a
/// literal in the form `c"Hello world"`.
///
/// The `CStr` can then be converted to a Rust <code>&[str]</code> by performing
/// UTF-8 validation, or into an owned `CString`.
///
/// `&CStr` is to `CString` as <code>&[str]</code> is to `String`: the former
/// in each pair are borrowed references; the latter are owned
/// strings.
///
/// Note that this structure does **not** have a guaranteed layout (the `repr(transparent)`
/// notwithstanding) and should not be placed in the signatures of FFI functions.
/// Instead, safe wrappers of FFI functions may leverage [`CStr::as_ptr`] and the unsafe
/// [`CStr::from_ptr`] constructor to provide a safe interface to other consumers.
