}</pre><div class='docblock'><p>Trait for writing out an encoding when serializing.</p>
<p>This trait provides methods to encode basic types and generic forms of
collections. Implementations of <code>Encodable</code> use it to perform the actual
encoding of a type.</p>
<p>It is unspecified what is done with the encoding - it could be stored in a
variable, or written directly to a file, for example.</p>
<p>Encoders can expect to only have a single "root" method call made on this
trait. Non-trivial types will call one of the collection-emitting methods,
passing a function that may call other methods on the trait, but once the
collection-emitting method has returned, encoding should be complete.</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>)
