    }

A list specifying general categories of I/O error.

This list is intended to grow over time and it is not recommended to exhaustively match against it.

It is used with the `io::Error` type.

## Variants

`NotFound`

An entity was not found, often a file.

`PermissionDenied`

The operation lacked the necessary privileges to complete.

`ConnectionRefused`

The connection was refused by the remote server.

`ConnectionReset`

The connection was reset by the remote server.

`ConnectionAborted`

The connection was aborted (terminated) by the remote server.

`NotConnected`

The network operation failed because it was not connected yet.

`AddrInUse`

A socket address could not be bound because the address is already in use elsewhere.

`AddrNotAvailable`

A nonexistent interface was requested or the requested address was not local.

`BrokenPipe`

The operation failed because a pipe was closed.

`AlreadyExists`

An entity already exists, often a file.

`WouldBlock`

The operation needs to block to complete, but the blocking operation was requested to not occur.

`InvalidInput`

A parameter was incorrect.

`InvalidData`

Data not valid for the operation were encountered.

Unlike `InvalidInput`, this typically means that the operation parameters were valid, however the error was caused by malformed input data.

For example, a function that reads a file into a string will error with `InvalidData` if the file's contents are not valid UTF-8.

1.2.0
`TimedOut`

The I/O operation's timeout expired, causing it to be canceled.

`WriteZero`

An error returned when an operation could not be completed because a call to `write` returned `Ok(0)`.

This typically means that an operation could only succeed if it wrote a particular number of bytes but only a smaller number of bytes could be written.

`Interrupted`

This operation was interrupted.

Interrupted operations can typically be retried.

`Other`

Any I/O error not part of this list.

`UnexpectedEof`

An error returned when an operation could not be completed because an "end of file" was reached prematurely.

This typically means that an operation could only succeed if it read a particular number of bytes but only a smaller number of bytes could be read.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
