+/// Deserialize a value from a CBOR-encoded Dhall binary file. The binary format is specified by
+/// the Dhall standard specification and is mostly used for caching expressions. Using the format
+/// is not recommended because errors won't have a file to refer to and thus will be hard to fix.
+///
+/// This returns a [`Deserializer`] object. Call the [`parse`] method to get the deserialized
+/// value, or use other [`Deserializer`] methods to control the deserialization process.
+///
+/// Imports will be resolved relative to the provided file's path.
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```no_run
+/// # fn main() -> serde_dhall::Result<()> {
+/// use serde::Deserialize;
+///
+/// // We use serde's derive feature
+/// #[derive(Deserialize)]
+/// struct Point {
+///     x: u64,
+///     y: u64,
+/// }
+///
+/// // Parse the Dhall file as a Point.
+/// let point: Point = serde_dhall::from_binary_file("foo.dhallb").parse()?;
+/// # Ok(())
+/// # }
+/// ```
