+//! Errors returned by OpenSSL library.
+//!
+//! OpenSSL errors are stored in an `ErrorStack`.  Most methods in the crate
+/// returns a `Result<T, ErrorStack>` type.
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use openssl::error::ErrorStack;
+//! use openssl::bn::BigNum;
+//!
+//! let an_error = BigNum::from_dec_str("Cannot parse letters");
+//! match an_error {
+//!     Ok(_)  => _,
+//!     Err(e) => println!("Parsing Error: {:?}", e),
+//! }
