resource error

A resource which represents some error information.

The only method provided by this resource is to-debug-string, which provides some human-readable information about the error.

In the wasi:io package, this resource is returned through the wasi:io/streams/stream-error type.

To provide more specific error information, other interfaces may -provide functions to further "downcast" this error into more specific -error information. For example, errors returned in streams derived -from filesystem types to be described using the filesystem's own -error-code type, using the function -wasi:filesystem/types/filesystem-error-code, which takes a parameter -borrow<error> and returns -option<wasi:filesystem/types/error-code>.

The set of functions which can "downcast" an error into a more concrete type is open.

Import interface wasi:io/streams@0.2.0

WASI I/O is an I/O abstraction API which is currently focused on providing stream types.

In the future, the component model is expected to add built-in stream types; when it does, they are expected to subsume this API.
