Core primitives for Ethereum Swarm: chunks, addresses, and binary merkle trees
Documentation
//! Error types for the nectar-primitives crate
//!
//! This module provides error types and helper functions for handling
//! errors that occur in various components of the crate.
//!
//! ## Error Structure
//!
//! The crate uses a two-level error hierarchy:
//!
//! - `PrimitivesError`: The top-level error type that wraps all other errors
//! - Component-specific errors: More detailed errors from specific subsystems
//!   (like `BmtError` and `ChunkError`)
//!
//! ## Example Usage
//!
//! ```
//! use nectar_primitives::error::{PrimitivesError, Result};
//!
//! fn fallible_operation() -> Result<()> {
//!     // Something that might fail
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! fn handle_errors() {
//!     match fallible_operation() {
//!         Ok(_) => println!("Operation succeeded"),
//!         Err(e) => match e {
//!             PrimitivesError::Bmt(bmt_err) => println!("BMT error: {}", bmt_err),
//!             PrimitivesError::Chunk(chunk_err) => println!("Chunk error: {}", chunk_err),
//!             _ => println!("Other error: {}", e),
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This design allows for detailed error reporting while maintaining a consistent
//! interface across the crate.
