Enum ShredError 

pub enum ShredError {
    Io(Error),
    Cli(String),
    Entropy(String),
    InvalidPath(String),
    Obfuscation(String),
}

The primary error taxonomy for the sys-shred ecosystem.

Every potential failure point, from low-level filesystem I/O to high-level cryptographic entropy exhaustion, is represented here.

Variants

Io(Error)

Errors originating from the underlying Operating System’s file operations. This includes permission issues, missing files, or hardware failures.

Cli(String)

Errors encountered during the parsing or validation of Command Line Arguments.

Entropy(String)

Errors related to the failure of cryptographic random number generation. Critical for ensuring the integrity of the overwriting process.

InvalidPath(String)

Errors triggered when a target path is logically invalid (e.g., pointing to a directory when a file is expected) or otherwise inaccessible.

Obfuscation(String)

Errors occurring during the filename randomization or metadata scrubbing phase.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for ShredError

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for ShredError

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for ShredError

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<Error> for ShredError

fn from(source: Error) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.
