+/**
+ * struct kunit_try_catch - provides a generic way to run code which might fail.
+ * @test: The test case that is currently being executed.
+ * @try_completion: Completion that the control thread waits on while test runs.
+ * @try_result: Contains any errno obtained while running test case.
+ * @try: The function, the test case, to attempt to run.
+ * @catch: The function called if @try bails out.
+ * @context: used to pass user data to the try and catch functions.
+ *
+ * kunit_try_catch provides a generic, architecture independent way to execute
+ * an arbitrary function of type kunit_try_catch_func_t which may bail out by
+ * calling kunit_try_catch_throw(). If kunit_try_catch_throw() is called, @try
+ * is stopped at the site of invocation and @catch is called.
+ *
+ * struct kunit_try_catch provides a generic interface for the functionality
+ * needed to implement kunit->abort() which in turn is needed for implementing
+ * assertions. Assertions allow stating a precondition for a test simplifying
+ * how test cases are written and presented.
+ *
+ * Assertions are like expectations, except they abort (call
+ * kunit_try_catch_throw()) when the specified condition is not met. This is
+ * useful when you look at a test case as a logical statement about some piece
+ * of code, where assertions are the premises for the test case, and the
+ * conclusion is a set of predicates, rather expectations, that must all be
+ * true. If your premises are violated, it does not makes sense to continue.
