/// A specialized byte slice type for performing vectored I/O operations.
///
/// On all systems, the types needed to perform vectored I/O systems have the
/// same size as Rust's [`slice`]. However, the layout is not necessarily the
/// same. `IoVec` provides a portable compatibility layer.
///
/// The `IoVec` behaves like a Rust [`slice`], providing the same functions.
/// It also provides conversion functions to and from the OS specific vectored
/// types.
///
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use iovec::IoVec;
///
/// let mut data = vec![];
/// data.extend_from_slice(b"hello");
///
/// let iovec: &IoVec = data.as_slice().into();
///
/// assert_eq!(&iovec[..], &b"hello"[..]);
/// ```
///
/// # Panics
///
/// Attempting to convert a zero-length slice or a slice longer than
/// [`MAX_LENGTH`] to an `IoVec` will result in a panic.
///
/// [`MAX_LENGTH`]: constant.MAX_LENGTH.html
