+The `rustc-check-cfg` instruction tells Cargo to pass the given expected

+used for compile-time detection of unexpected [conditional compilation] configs.
+
+You can use the instruction like this:
+
+```rust,no_run
+// build.rs
+println!("cargo::rustc-check-cfg=cfg(foo, values(\"bar\"))");
+```
+
+Note that all possible cfgs should be defined, regardless of which cfgs are
+currently enabled. This includes all possible values of a given cfg name.

+It is recommended to group the `cargo::rustc-check-cfg` and

+avoid typos, missing check-cfg, stalled cfgs...
