mdf4-rs 0.6.0

mdf4-rs is a Rust library for working with Measurement Data Format (ASAM MDF4) files.
Documentation
//! Error types for MDF4 operations.
//!
//! This module defines the [`Error`] enum which represents all possible failures
//! that can occur when reading, writing, or processing MDF files.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # #[cfg(feature = "std")]
//! use mdf4_rs::{MDF, Error, Result};
//!
//! # #[cfg(feature = "std")]
//! fn process_file(path: &str) -> Result<()> {
//!     match MDF::from_file(path) {
//!         Ok(mdf) => {
//!             println!("Loaded {} channel groups", mdf.channel_groups().len());
//!             Ok(())
//!         }
//!         Err(Error::IOError(e)) => {
//!             eprintln!("File I/O error: {}", e);
//!             Err(Error::IOError(e))
//!         }
//!         Err(Error::FileIdentifierError(id)) => {
//!             eprintln!("Not a valid MDF file: {}", id);
//!             Err(Error::FileIdentifierError(id))
//!         }
//!         Err(e) => Err(e),
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
