+go-errors/errors
+================
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/go-errors/errors.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/go-errors/errors)
+
+Package errors adds stacktrace support to errors in go.
+
+This is particularly useful when you want to understand the state of execution
+when an error was returned unexpectedly.
+
+It provides the type \*Error which implements the standard golang error
+interface, so you can use this library interchangably with code that is
+expecting a normal error return.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Full documentation is available on
+[godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/go-errors/errors), but here's a simple
+example:
+
+```go
+package crashy
+
+import "github.com/go-errors/errors"
+
+var Crashed = errors.Errorf("oh dear")
+
+func Crash() error {
+ return errors.New(Crashed)
+}
+```
+
+This can be called as follows:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+ "crashy"
+ "fmt"
+ "github.com/go-errors/errors"
+)
+
+func main() {
+ err := crashy.Crash()
+ if err != nil {
+ if errors.Is(err, crashy.Crashed) {
+ fmt.Println(err.(*errors.Error).ErrorStack())
+ } else {
+ panic(err)
+ }
+ }
+}
+```

+
+This package was original written to allow reporting to
+[Bugsnag](https://bugsnag.com/) from
+[bugsnag-go](https://github.com/bugsnag/bugsnag-go), but after I found similar
+packages by Facebook and Dropbox, it was moved to one canonical location so
+everyone can benefit.
