+# eh (Escape Hatch)
+
+Succinct error handling for Go inspired by Rust. `eh` can help you avoid the usual Go error 
+handling boileplate.
+
+This library tries to provide similar functionality to Rust's Result enum and
+the `?` operator.
+
+For example turn this:
+
+```go
+func example(aFile string) []byte, error {
+    f, err := os.Open(aFile)
+    if err != nil {
+        return nil, err
+    }
+    buff := make([]byte, 5)
+    _, err := f.Read(b1)
+    if err != nil {
+        return nil, err
+    }
+    return buff, nil
+}
+```
+
+Into this:
+
+```go
+func example(aFile string) (res Result[[]byte]) {
+	defer EscapeHatch(&res)  // must have pointer to the named output Result
+	buff := make([]byte, 5)
+	file := NewResult(os.Open(aFile)).ReturnIfErr().Ok
+	NewResult(file.Read(buff)).ReturnIfErr()
+	return Result[[]byte]{Ok: buff}
+}
+```
+
+When an error occurs (for example if the file does not exist) this is what happens:
+
+```
+{Ok:[] Err:open non-existent-file.md: no such file or directory}
+```
+
+For a successful operation the output is like this:
+
+```
+{Ok:[60 33 100 111 99 116 121 112] Err: <nil>}
+```
+
+The library provides just a handful or public structs and functions:
+- `Result` structs to capture an outcome that can potentially result in an error
+- `ReturnIfErr` function (`?` was not possible) that will stop the current function from executing
+  if there is an error and return a `Result` that contains the error. 
+- `EscapeHatch` function that should be deferred and given access to the enclosing
+  function named `Result` argument so that the error can be recovered and the 
+  enclosed function can be interrupted early if an error occurs.
+
+## Instructions
+
+A few simple steps to incorporate in your code:
+1. Return a named `Result` from your fuction
+2. `defer` the `EscapeHatch` function with pointer to the named `Result` argument
+3. Wrap functions that return `any, error` into `eh.NewResult` to get `Result`
+4. Call `ReturnIfErr()` on any `Result` to stop the execution if there is an error 
+  and return `Result{Err: Error}` from the enclosing function.
