Enum AescryptError 

pub enum AescryptError {
    Io(Error),
    Crypto(String),
    Header(String),
    UnsupportedVersion(u8),
}

The error type for all AES Crypt operations.

This enum covers I/O errors, cryptographic errors, header parsing errors, and version compatibility issues.

Variants

Io(Error)

I/O error occurred during file operations.

This variant wraps std::io::Error and is automatically created when I/O operations fail (e.g., file not found, read/write errors).

Crypto(String)

Cryptographic operation failed.

This variant is used for errors in cryptographic operations such as:

• KDF derivation failures
• Invalid password encoding
• HMAC verification failures
• Other cryptographic errors

Header(String)

Header parsing or validation error.

This variant is used for errors related to AES Crypt file headers:

• Invalid magic bytes
• Invalid version byte
• Invalid reserved byte
• Invalid KDF iteration count
• Missing or corrupted header data

UnsupportedVersion(u8)

Unsupported AES Crypt file version.

This variant is returned when attempting to read a file with a version that is not supported (currently only versions 0-3 are supported). The contained value is the unsupported version number.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for AescryptError

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for AescryptError

fn fmt(&self, __formatter: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for AescryptError

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

Returns the lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0: use the Display impl or to_string()

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0: replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (error_generic_member_access)

Provides type-based access to context intended for error reports.

impl From<&'static str> for AescryptError

fn from(msg: &'static str) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<Error> for AescryptError

fn from(source: Error) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.
