[−] Expand description

Construct an ad-hoc error from a string.

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.

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));
    }

    // ...
}
