+# field-offset: safe pointer-to-member functionality
+
+This crate implements an `offset_of!(...)` macro which safely encapsulates
+a pointer-to-member.
+
+Example:
+```rust
+struct Foo {
+ x: u32,
+ y: f64
+}
+
+let foo_y = offset_of!(Foo => y);
+
+let mut a = Foo { x: 1, y: 2.0 };
+
+*foo_y.apply_mut(&mut a) = 3.0;
+
+assert!(a.y == 3.0);
+```
+
+The macro returns an instance of `FieldOffset<T, U>`, which represents a
+pointer to a field of type `U` within a containing type, `T`.
+
+The `FieldOffset` type implements `Add`. Applying the resulting field offset
+is equivalent to applying the first field offset, then applying the second
+field offset.
+
+The macro also supports accessing nested fields:
+
+```rust
+let bar_foo_y = offset_of!(Bar => foo: Foo => y);
+```
+
