127 /// # Error codes in C and Rust
128 ///
129 /// In C, it is common that functions indicate success or failure through
130 /// their return value; modifying or returning extra data through non-`const`
131 /// pointer parameters. In particular, in the kernel, functions that may fail
132 /// typically return an `int` that represents a generic error code. We model
133 /// those as [`Error`].
134 ///
135 /// In Rust, it is idiomatic to model functions that may fail as returning
136 /// a [`Result`]. Since in the kernel many functions return an error code,
137 /// [`Result`] is a type alias for a [`core::result::Result`] that uses
138 /// [`Error`] as its error type.
139 ///
140 /// Note that even if a function does not return anything when it succeeds,
141 /// it should still be modeled as returning a `Result` rather than
142 /// just an [`Error`].
