Subject: [PATCH 1/3] rust: error: improve `Error::from_errno` documentation
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2025 21:22:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250829192243.678079-2-ojeda@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250829192243.678079-1-ojeda@kernel.org>

This constructor is public since commit 5ed147473458 ("rust: error:
make conversion functions public"), and we will refer to it from the
documentation of `to_result` in a later commit.

Thus improve its documentation, including adding examples.
