Enum gbl::ErrorKind

pub enum ErrorKind {
    ParseError,
    InvalidSignature,
    Other,
    // some variants omitted
}

The different kinds of errors that can occur.

Variants

ParseError

Data could not be parsed because it is malformed.

"Data" in this case can be the GBL file, an ECDSA or an AES key file. This error can also mean that an invalid key was provided (eg. a non-ECDSA key).

When this is returned by Gbl::decrypt, it most likely means that the wrong AES key was provided, resulting in garbage data.

InvalidSignature

Signature was not created by the private key belonging to the provided public key.

Other

An unspecified error occurred.

Displaying the Error should result in a more useful message. This error is generally used for errors in ring and OpenSSL.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ErrorKind

fn clone(&self) -> ErrorKind

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl From<ErrorKind> for Error

fn from(kind: ErrorKind) -> Self

Performs the conversion.

impl Display for ErrorKind

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Debug for ErrorKind

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Fail for ErrorKind

fn name(&self) -> Option<&str>

Returns the "name" of the error.

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

Returns a reference to the underlying cause of this failure, if it is an error that wraps other errors.

fn backtrace(&self) -> Option<&Backtrace>

Returns a reference to the Backtrace carried by this failure, if it carries one.

fn context<D>(self, context: D) -> Context<D> where
    D: Display + Send + Sync + 'static, 

Provides context for this failure.

fn compat(self) -> Compat<Self>

Wraps this failure in a compatibility wrapper that implements std::error::Error.
