lsm-db 0.9.5

//! The crate error type.
//!
//! Every fallible operation in `lsm-db` returns [`Result<T>`], whose error is
//! [`Error`]. The type integrates with the portfolio's `error-forge` framework
//! — it implements [`error_forge::ForgeError`], so callers get the stable
//! `kind` / `caption` / `is_fatal` metadata other crates rely on — while still
//! exposing the underlying [`std::io::Error`] through
//! [`std::error::Error::source`] for code that needs the OS error kind directly.
