Enum Error 

pub enum Error {
    Io(Error),
    Serialization(Error),
    Compression(String),
    Encryption(String),
    Corruption(u64),
    Format(String),
    OutOfBounds(u64),
    NotSupported(String),
}

Unified error type for all Hexz library and CLI operations.

Architectural intent: Provides a single error surface that callers can use for I/O, format, compression, encryption, and feature-negotiation failures, enabling consistent reporting across crates.

Constraints: Variants must remain serializable as user-facing strings and stable enough for log analysis; binary compatibility is not guaranteed across releases.

Side effects: Many variants wrap underlying error types; formatting the error may allocate and may expose details from lower layers that should not be relied upon for programmatic decisions.

Variants

Io(Error)

Underlying I/O failure (file, network, or OS-level).

Serialization(Error)

Binary serialization/deserialization failure (bincode layer).

Compression(String)

Compression or decompression failure.

Encryption(String)

Encryption or decryption failure (wrong key, corrupted ciphertext).

Corruption(u64)

Integrity check failure — stored checksum does not match computed value.

Format(String)

Archive format violation (bad magic, unsupported version, truncation).

OutOfBounds(u64)

Block index exceeds the archive’s block count.

NotSupported(String)

Requested feature requires a build flag or version that is not present.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Error

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Error

fn fmt(&self, __formatter: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for Error

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

Returns the lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0:

use the Display impl or to_string()

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

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0:

replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (error_generic_member_access)

Provides type-based access to context intended for error reports.

impl From<Box<ErrorKind>> for Error

fn from(source: Error) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<Error> for Error

fn from(source: Error) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.
