determined by how the memory was allocated; it has nothing to do with
the type of the pointer.

Note that values of some Go types, other than the type's zero value,
always include Go pointers. This is true of string, slice, interface,
channel, map, and function types. A pointer type may hold a Go pointer
or a C pointer. Array and struct types may or may not include Go

<p>
A <code>Pointer</code> is a <a href="#Pointer_types">pointer type</a> but a <code>Pointer</code>
value may not be <a href="#Address_operators">dereferenced</a>.
Any pointer or value of <a href="#Types">underlying type</a> <code>uintptr</code> can be converted to
a type of underlying type <code>Pointer</code> and vice versa.
The effect of converting between <code>Pointer</code> and <code>uintptr</code> is implementation-defined.

the toolchain, such as a frame pointer.

func (b *Buffer) AvailableBuffer() []byte { return b.buf[len(b.buf):] }

// String returns the contents of the unread portion of the buffer
// as a string. If the [Buffer] is a nil pointer, it returns "<nil>".

// To build strings more efficiently, see the strings.Builder type.

As of Go 1.23 (`winsymlink=1`), mount points no longer have [`os.ModeSymlink`](/pkg/os#ModeSymlink)
set, and reparse points that are not symlinks, Unix sockets, or dedup files now
always have [`os.ModeIrregular`](/pkg/os#ModeIrregular) set. As a result of these changes,
[`filepath.EvalSymlinks`](/pkg/path/filepath#EvalSymlinks) no longer evaluates
mount points, which was a source of many inconsistencies and bugs.

// const declaration. It is zero-indexed.
const iota = 0 // Untyped int.

// nil is a predeclared identifier representing the zero value for a
// pointer, channel, func, interface, map, or slice type.
var nil Type // Type must be a pointer, channel, func, interface, map, or slice type

// Type is here for the purposes of documentation only. It is a stand-in
