Traits for working with Errors.
The Error
trait
Error
is a trait representing the basic expectations for error values,
i.e. values of type E
in Result<T, E>
. At a minimum, errors must provide
a description, but they may optionally provide additional detail (via
Display
) and cause chain information:
use std::fmt::Display; trait Error: Display { fn description(&self) -> &str; fn cause(&self) -> Option<&Error> { None } }
The cause
method is generally used when errors cross "abstraction
boundaries", i.e. when a one module must report an error that is "caused"
by an error from a lower-level module. This setup makes it possible for the
high-level module to provide its own errors that do not commit to any
particular implementation, but also reveal some of its implementation for
debugging via cause
chains.
