//! # box_raw_ptr
//!
//! `box_raw_ptr` is a Rust library providing safe wrappers for working with raw pointers,
//! specifically `*const T` and `*mut T`. These wrappers ensure memory safety by encapsulating
//! the raw pointers in safe abstractions and providing safe methods for working with them.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - **ConstRawPtr**: A wrapper for `*const T` providing methods for safely working with constant raw pointers.
//! - **MutRawPtr**: A wrapper for `*mut T` providing methods for safely working with mutable raw pointers.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use box_raw_ptr::const_raw_ptr::ConstRawPtr;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     let ptr = Box::new(42);
//!     let raw_ptr = ConstRawPtr::new_const_ptr(&*ptr);
//!
//!     // Print the memory address of the raw pointer
//!     raw_ptr.print_const_ptr(true);
//!
//!     // Print the value pointed to by the raw pointer
//!     raw_ptr.print_const_ptr(false);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! box_raw_ptr = "0.1.0"
//! ```
//!
//! ## License
//!
//! This project is licensed under the MIT license. See the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.
//!
//! ## Contributions
//!
//! Contributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit a pull request or open an issue
//! on the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/yourusername/yourrepository).
//!
//! ```
//!
//! extern crate box_raw_ptr;
//!
//! use box_raw_ptr::const_raw_ptr::ConstRawPtr;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     let ptr = Box::new(42);
//!     let raw_ptr = ConstRawPtr::new_const_ptr(&*ptr);
//!
//!     // Print the memory address of the raw pointer
//!     raw_ptr.print_const_ptr(true);
//!
//!     // Print the value pointed to by the raw pointer
//!     raw_ptr.print_const_ptr(false);
//! }
//! ```
