pub type Result<T> = Result<T, Error>;
Expand description
A specialized Result
type for I/O operations.
This type is broadly used across std::io
for any operation which may
produce an error.
This typedef is generally used to avoid writing out io::Error
directly and
is otherwise a direct mapping to Result
.
While usual Rust style is to import types directly, aliases of Result
often are not, to make it easier to distinguish between them. Result
is
generally assumed to be std::result::Result
, and so users of this alias
will generally use io::Result
instead of shadowing the prelude’s import
of std::result::Result
.
§Examples
A convenience function that bubbles an io::Result
to its caller:
use std::io;
fn get_string() -> io::Result<String> {
let mut buffer = String::new();
io::stdin().read_line(&mut buffer)?;
Ok(buffer)
}
RunAliased Type§
enum Result<T> {
Ok(T),
Err(Error),
}
