Documentation about resource management in the Rust programming language.We zoom in on some concepts that are specific to Rust:

• ownership
• borrowing
• lifetimes

Read online.

I wrote this at the time to better understand Rust.I don't maintain it anymore.It is probably outdated.It is not part of the official Rust documentation.

This documentation is for you if you

• are learning the Rust programming language and you want to understandlifetimes, ownership, borrowing etc. better,
• already understand the basics (structs, enums, traits, ...),
• have some experience with a garbage-collected object oriented programminglanguage,
• are comfortable reading simple technical English,
• have no problem with the fact that this documentationis probably a work in progress for ever.

We usemdBook to build the HTML versionof the documentation. You can install mdBook with the following command:

cargo install mdbook

To build, go to the folder containing thesrc folder and run the followingcommand:

mdbook build

The result is in thebook directory.
