+
+This library provides [`anyhow::Error`][Error], a trait object based error type
+for easy idiomatic error handling in Rust applications.
+
+[Error]: https://docs.rs/anyhow/1.0/anyhow/struct.Error.html
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+anyhow = "1.0"
+```
+
+*Compiler support: requires rustc 1.38+*
+
+<br>
+
+## Details
+
+- Use `Result<T, anyhow::Error>`, or equivalently `anyhow::Result<T>`, as the
+ return type of any fallible function.
+
+ Within the function, use `?` to easily propagate any error that implements the
+ `std::error::Error` trait.
+
+ ```rust
+ use anyhow::Result;
+
+ fn get_cluster_info() -> Result<ClusterMap> {
+ let config = std::fs::read_to_string("cluster.json")?;
+ let map: ClusterMap = serde_json::from_str(&config)?;
+ Ok(map)
+ }
+ ```
+
+- Attach context to help the person troubleshooting the error understand where
+ things went wrong. A low-level error like "No such file or directory" can be
+ annoying to debug without more context about what higher level step the
+ application was in the middle of.
+
+ ```rust
+ use anyhow::{Context, Result};
+
+ fn main() -> Result<()> {
+ ...
+ it.detach().context("Failed to detach the important thing")?;
+
+ let content = std::fs::read(path)
+ .with_context(|| format!("Failed to read instrs from {}", path))?;
+ ...
+ }
+ ```
+
+ ```console
+ Error: Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
+
+ Caused by:
+ No such file or directory (os error 2)
+ ```
+
+- Downcasting is supported and can be by value, by shared reference, or by
+ mutable reference as needed.
+
+ ```rust
+ // If the error was caused by redaction, then return a
+ // tombstone instead of the content.
+ match root_cause.downcast_ref::<DataStoreError>() {
+ Some(DataStoreError::Censored(_)) => Ok(Poll::Ready(REDACTED_CONTENT)),
+ None => Err(error),
+ }
+ ```
+
+- If using the nightly channel, or stable with `features = ["backtrace"]`, a
+ backtrace is captured and printed with the error if the underlying error type
+ does not already provide its own. In order to see backtraces, they must be
+ enabled through the environment variables described in [`std::backtrace`]:
+
+ - If you want panics and errors to both have backtraces, set
+ `RUST_BACKTRACE=1`;
+ - If you want only errors to have backtraces, set `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=1`;
+ - If you want only panics to have backtraces, set `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` and
+ `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=0`.
+
+ The tracking issue for this feature is [rust-lang/rust#53487].
+
+ [`std::backtrace`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/backtrace/index.html#environment-variables
+ [rust-lang/rust#53487]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53487
+
+- Anyhow works with any error type that has an impl of `std::error::Error`,
+ including ones defined in your crate. We do not bundle a `derive(Error)` macro
+ but you can write the impls yourself or use a standalone macro like
+ [thiserror].
+
+ ```rust
+ use thiserror::Error;
+
+ #[derive(Error, Debug)]
+ pub enum FormatError {
+ #[error("Invalid header (expected {expected:?}, got {found:?})")]
+ InvalidHeader {
+ expected: String,
+ found: String,
+ },
+ #[error("Missing attribute: {0}")]
+ MissingAttribute(String),
+ }
+ ```
+
+- One-off error messages can be constructed using the `anyhow!` macro, which
+ supports string interpolation and produces an `anyhow::Error`.
+
+ ```rust
+ return Err(anyhow!("Missing attribute: {}", missing));
+ ```
+
+ A `bail!` macro is provided as a shorthand for the same early return.
+
+ ```rust
+ bail!("Missing attribute: {}", missing);
+ ```
+
+<br>
+
+## No-std support
+
+In no_std mode, the same API is almost all available and works the same way. To
+depend on Anyhow in no_std mode, disable our default enabled "std" feature in
+Cargo.toml. A global allocator is required.
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+anyhow = { version = "1.0", default-features = false }
+```
+
+Since the `?`-based error conversions would normally rely on the
+`std::error::Error` trait which is only available through std, no_std mode will
+require an explicit `.map_err(Error::msg)` when working with a non-Anyhow error
+type inside a function that returns Anyhow's error type.
+
+<br>
+
+## Comparison to failure
+
+The `anyhow::Error` type works something like `failure::Error`, but unlike
+failure ours is built around the standard library's `std::error::Error` trait
+rather than a separate trait `failure::Fail`. The standard library has adopted
+the necessary improvements for this to be possible as part of [RFC 2504].
+
+[RFC 2504]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2504-fix-error.md
+
+<br>
+
+## Comparison to thiserror
+
+Use Anyhow if you don't care what error type your functions return, you just
+want it to be easy. This is common in application code. Use [thiserror] if you
+are a library that wants to design your own dedicated error type(s) so that on
+failures the caller gets exactly the information that you choose.
