labview-interop 0.4.2

Types and wrappers for interperating with LabVIEW when called as a library
Documentation
//! Module for handling of LabVIEW status codes.
//!
//! Although not a unique type in LabVIEW, the status code holds special semantic meaning
//! which is why it is given its own type.

/// ´LVStatusCode´ is a transparent newtype on i32 to represent all potential error codes and SUCCESS (0) as a success value.
///
/// This kind of status code corresponds to the Rust Result types.
/// Therefore, it is named status and not error on purpose. There is no checks or guarantees if the code is a valid range or has an official labview
/// definition.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use labview_interop::types::LVStatusCode;
/// let status = LVStatusCode::from(42);
///
/// assert_eq!(status, 42.into());
/// ```
