Struct tokio::io::Error

pub struct Error { /* fields omitted */ }

The error type for I/O operations of the Read, Write, Seek, and associated traits.

Errors mostly originate from the underlying OS, but custom instances of Error can be created with crafted error messages and a particular value of [ErrorKind].

Implementations

impl Error

pub fn new<E>(kind: ErrorKind, error: E) -> Error where
    E: Into<Box<dyn Error + 'static + Send + Sync>>, 

Creates a new I/O error from a known kind of error as well as an arbitrary error payload.

This function is used to generically create I/O errors which do not originate from the OS itself. The error argument is an arbitrary payload which will be contained in this [Error].

Examples

use std::io::{Error, ErrorKind};

// errors can be created from strings
let custom_error = Error::new(ErrorKind::Other, "oh no!");

// errors can also be created from other errors
let custom_error2 = Error::new(ErrorKind::Interrupted, custom_error);

pub fn last_os_error() -> Error

Returns an error representing the last OS error which occurred.

This function reads the value of errno for the target platform (e.g. GetLastError on Windows) and will return a corresponding instance of [Error] for the error code.

Examples

use std::io::Error;

println!("last OS error: {:?}", Error::last_os_error());

pub fn from_raw_os_error(code: i32) -> Error

Creates a new instance of an [Error] from a particular OS error code.

Examples

On Linux:

use std::io;

let error = io::Error::from_raw_os_error(22);
assert_eq!(error.kind(), io::ErrorKind::InvalidInput);

On Windows:

use std::io;

let error = io::Error::from_raw_os_error(10022);
assert_eq!(error.kind(), io::ErrorKind::InvalidInput);

pub fn raw_os_error(&self) -> Option<i32>

Returns the OS error that this error represents (if any).

If this [Error] was constructed via last_os_error or from_raw_os_error, then this function will return [Some], otherwise it will return [None].

Examples

use std::io::{Error, ErrorKind};

fn print_os_error(err: &Error) {
    if let Some(raw_os_err) = err.raw_os_error() {
        println!("raw OS error: {:?}", raw_os_err);
    } else {
        println!("Not an OS error");
    }
}

fn main() {
    // Will print "raw OS error: ...".
    print_os_error(&Error::last_os_error());
    // Will print "Not an OS error".
    print_os_error(&Error::new(ErrorKind::Other, "oh no!"));
}

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static + Send + Sync)>

Returns a reference to the inner error wrapped by this error (if any).

If this [Error] was constructed via new then this function will return [Some], otherwise it will return [None].

Examples

use std::io::{Error, ErrorKind};

fn print_error(err: &Error) {
    if let Some(inner_err) = err.get_ref() {
        println!("Inner error: {:?}", inner_err);
    } else {
        println!("No inner error");
    }
}

fn main() {
    // Will print "No inner error".
    print_error(&Error::last_os_error());
    // Will print "Inner error: ...".
    print_error(&Error::new(ErrorKind::Other, "oh no!"));
}

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut (dyn Error + 'static + Send + Sync)>

Returns a mutable reference to the inner error wrapped by this error (if any).

If this [Error] was constructed via new then this function will return [Some], otherwise it will return [None].

Examples

use std::io::{Error, ErrorKind};
use std::{error, fmt};
use std::fmt::Display;

#[derive(Debug)]
struct MyError {
    v: String,
}

impl MyError {
    fn new() -> MyError {
        MyError {
            v: "oh no!".to_string()
        }
    }

    fn change_message(&mut self, new_message: &str) {
        self.v = new_message.to_string();
    }
}

impl error::Error for MyError {}

impl Display for MyError {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        write!(f, "MyError: {}", &self.v)
    }
}

fn change_error(mut err: Error) -> Error {
    if let Some(inner_err) = err.get_mut() {
        inner_err.downcast_mut::<MyError>().unwrap().change_message("I've been changed!");
    }
    err
}

fn print_error(err: &Error) {
    if let Some(inner_err) = err.get_ref() {
        println!("Inner error: {}", inner_err);
    } else {
        println!("No inner error");
    }
}

fn main() {
    // Will print "No inner error".
    print_error(&change_error(Error::last_os_error()));
    // Will print "Inner error: ...".
    print_error(&change_error(Error::new(ErrorKind::Other, MyError::new())));
}

pub fn into_inner(self) -> Option<Box<dyn Error + 'static + Send + Sync>>

Consumes the Error, returning its inner error (if any).

If this [Error] was constructed via new then this function will return [Some], otherwise it will return [None].

Examples

use std::io::{Error, ErrorKind};

fn print_error(err: Error) {
    if let Some(inner_err) = err.into_inner() {
        println!("Inner error: {}", inner_err);
    } else {
        println!("No inner error");
    }
}

fn main() {
    // Will print "No inner error".
    print_error(Error::last_os_error());
    // Will print "Inner error: ...".
    print_error(Error::new(ErrorKind::Other, "oh no!"));
}

pub fn kind(&self) -> ErrorKind

Returns the corresponding [ErrorKind] for this error.

Examples

use std::io::{Error, ErrorKind};

fn print_error(err: Error) {
    println!("{:?}", err.kind());
}

fn main() {
    // Will print "Other".
    print_error(Error::last_os_error());
    // Will print "AddrInUse".
    print_error(Error::new(ErrorKind::AddrInUse, "oh no!"));
}

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Error

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Error

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for Error

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎 Deprecated since 1.42.0:

use the Display impl or to_string()

if let Err(e) = "xc".parse::<u32>() { // Print e itself, no need for description(). eprintln!("Error: {}", e); }

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

👎 Deprecated since 1.33.0:

replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

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

The lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn backtrace(&self) -> Option<&Backtrace>

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

Returns a stack backtrace, if available, of where this error occurred.

impl From<Elapsed> for Error

fn from(_err: Elapsed) -> Error

Performs the conversion.

impl From<ErrorKind> for Error

Intended for use for errors not exposed to the user, where allocating onto the heap (for normal construction via Error::new) is too costly.

fn from(kind: ErrorKind) -> Error

Converts an [ErrorKind] into an [Error].

This conversion allocates a new error with a simple representation of error kind.

Examples

use std::io::{Error, ErrorKind};

let not_found = ErrorKind::NotFound;
let error = Error::from(not_found);
assert_eq!("entity not found", format!("{}", error));

impl<W> From<IntoInnerError<W>> for Error

fn from(iie: IntoInnerError<W>) -> Error

Performs the conversion.

impl From<JoinError> for Error

fn from(src: JoinError) -> Error

Performs the conversion.

impl From<NulError> for Error

fn from(NulError) -> Error

Converts a [NulError] into a [io::Error].
