<p>This function call attempts to get the host name for the running system and
store it in a provided buffer. The buffer will be populated with bytes up
to the length of the provided slice including a NUL terminating byte. If
the hostname is longer than the length provided, no error will be provided.
The posix specification does not specify whether implementations will
null-terminate in this case, but the nix implementation will ensure that the
buffer is null terminated in this case.</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>)
