Macro anyhow::anyhow [−][src]
Construct an ad-hoc error from a string or existing non-anyhow
error
value.
This evaluates to an Error
. It can take either just a
string, or a format string with arguments. It also can take any custom type
which implements Debug
and Display
.
If called with a single argument whose type implements std::error::Error
(in addition to Debug
and Display
, which are always required), then that
Error impl’s source
is preserved as the source
of the resulting
anyhow::Error
.
Example
use anyhow::{anyhow, Result}; fn lookup(key: &str) -> Result<V> { if key.len() != 16 { return Err(anyhow!("key length must be 16 characters, got {:?}", key)); } // ... }
