/// typically return an `int` that represents a generic error code. We model
/// those as [`Error`].

/// a [`Result`]. Since in the kernel many functions return an error code,
/// [`Result`] is a type alias for a [`core::result::Result`] that uses
/// [`Error`] as its error type.

/// Note that even if a function does not return anything when it succeeds,
/// it should still be modeled as returning a `Result` rather than
/// just an [`Error`].
