+//! Common helpers for the `multiboot2` and `multiboot2-header` crates.
+//!
+//! The main objective here is to encapsulate the memory-sensible part of
+//! parsing and iterating Multiboot2 structures. This crate empowers
+//! `multiboot2` and `multiboot2-header` to use rusty types for the
+//! corresponding structures, such as non-trait DSTs (structs with a
+//! terminating `[u8]` field). The abstractions can be used for:
+//! - multiboot2:
+//!   - boot information structure (whole)
+//!   - boot information tags
+//! - multiboot2-header:
+//!   - header structure (whole)
+//!   - header tags
+//!
+//! Not meant as stable public API for others.
