//! This library part of the bootloader allows kernels to retrieve information from the bootloader.
//!
//! To combine your kernel with the bootloader crate you need a tool such
//! as [`bootimage`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootimage). See the
//! [_Writing an OS in Rust_](https://os.phil-opp.com/minimal-rust-kernel/#creating-a-bootimage)
//! blog for an explanation.
