An error from parsing a terminfo entry

Variants

BadMagic(u16)

The “magic” number at the start of the file was wrong.

It should be 0x11A (16bit numbers) or 0x21e (32bit numbers)

NotUtf8(Utf8Error)

The names in the file were not valid UTF-8.

In theory these should only be ASCII, but to work with the Rust str type, we treat them as UTF-8. This is valid, except when a terminfo file decides to be invalid. This hasn’t been encountered in the wild.

ShortNames

The names section of the file was empty

TooManyBools

More boolean parameters are present in the file than this crate knows how to interpret.

TooManyNumbers

More number parameters are present in the file than this crate knows how to interpret.

TooManyStrings

More string parameters are present in the file than this crate knows how to interpret.

InvalidLength

The length of some field was not >= -1.

NamesMissingNull

The names table was missing a trailing null terminator.

StringsMissingNull

The strings table was missing a trailing null terminator.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Error

impl Eq for Error

impl Error for Error

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

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

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

pub 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<Error> for Error

fn from(val: Error) -> Self

Performs the conversion.

impl From<FromUtf8Error> for Error

fn from(v: FromUtf8Error) -> Self

Performs the conversion.

impl PartialEq<Error> for Error

fn eq(&self, other: &Error) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Error) -> bool

This method tests for !=.
