Research direction
The issue requests adding documentation for cbindgen, the reverse of the existing bindgen page. The existing material is at https://google.github.io/comprehensive rust/android/interoperability/with c/bindgen.html. The contributor should study that page and create analogous content for generating C headers from Rust using cbindgen. Review the 8 comments on the issue for any specific guidance or questions from maintainers. The repository is comprehensive rust by Google.
