//! Macros for the uucore utilities.
//!
//! This module bundles all macros used across the uucore utilities. These
//! include macros for reporting errors in various formats, aborting program
//! execution and more.
//!
//! To make use of all macros in this module, they must be imported like so:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! #[macro_use]
//! extern crate uucore;
//! ```
//!
//! Alternatively, you can import single macros by importing them through their
//! fully qualified name like this:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use uucore::show;
//! ```
//!
//! Here's an overview of the macros sorted by purpose
//!
//! - Print errors
//!   - From types implementing [`crate::error::UError`]: [`crate::show!`],
//!     [`crate::show_if_err!`]
//!   - From custom messages: [`crate::show_error!`]
//! - Print warnings: [`crate::show_warning!`]

/// Display a [`crate::error::UError`] and set global exit code.
///
/// Prints the error message contained in an [`crate::error::UError`] to stderr
/// and sets the exit code through [`crate::error::set_exit_code`]. The printed
/// error message is prepended with the calling utility's name. A call to this
/// macro will not finish program execution.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// The following example would print a message "Some error occurred" and set
/// the utility's exit code to 2.
///
/// ```
/// # #[macro_use]
/// # extern crate uucore;
///
/// use uucore::error::{self, USimpleError};
///
/// fn main() {
///     let err = USimpleError::new(2, "Some error occurred.");
///     show!(err);
///     assert_eq!(error::get_exit_code(), 2);
/// }
/// ```
///
/// If not using [`crate::error::UError`], one may achieve the same behavior
/// like this:
///
/// ```
/// # #[macro_use]
/// # extern crate uucore;
///
/// use uucore::error::set_exit_code;
///
/// fn main() {
///     set_exit_code(2);
///     show_error!("Some error occurred.");
/// }
/// ```

/// Display an error and set global exit code in error case.
///
/// Wraps around [`crate::show!`] and takes a [`crate::error::UResult`] instead of a
/// [`crate::error::UError`] type. This macro invokes [`crate::show!`] if the
/// [`crate::error::UResult`] is an `Err`-variant. This can be invoked directly
/// on the result of a function call, like in the `install` utility:
///
/// ```ignore
/// show_if_err!(copy(sourcepath, &targetpath, b));
/// ```

///
/// ```ignore
/// # #[macro_use]
/// # extern crate uucore;
/// # use uucore::error::{UError, UIoError, UResult, USimpleError};
///
/// # fn main() {
/// let is_ok = Ok(1);
/// // This does nothing at all
/// show_if_err!(is_ok);
///
/// let is_err = Err(USimpleError::new(1, "I'm an error").into());
/// // Calls `show!` on the contained USimpleError
/// show_if_err!(is_err);
/// # }
/// ```
