<div class='docblock'><p>An experimental new error-handling library.</p>
<p>The primary items exported by this library are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>Fail</code>: a new trait for custom error types in Rust.</li>
<li><code>Error</code>: a wrapper around <code>Fail</code> types to make it easy to coalesce them
at higher levels.</li>
</ul>
<p>As a general rule, library authors should create their own error types and
implement <code>Fail</code> for them, whereas application authors should primarily
deal with the <code>Error</code> type. There are exceptions to this rule, though, in
both directions, and users should do whatever seems most appropriate to
their situation.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
