// Package errcapture implements robust error handling in defer statements using provided return argument.
//
// Close a `io.Closer` interface or execute any function that returns error safely while capturing error.
// It's often forgotten but it's a caller responsibility to close all implementations of `Closer`,
// such as *os.File or io.ReaderCloser. Commonly we would use:
//
// defer closer.Close()
//
// This is wrong. Close() usually return important error (e.g for os.File the actual file flush might happen and fail on `Close` method).
// It's very important to *always* check error. `errcapture` provides utility functions to capture error and add to provided one,
// still allowing to put them in a convenient `defer` statement:
//
// func <...>(...) (err error) {
// ...
// defer errcapture.Do(&err, closer.Close, "log format message")
//
// ...
// }
//
// If Close returns error, `errcapture.Do` will capture it, add to input error if not nil and return by argument.
//
// Example:
//
// func DoAndClose(f *os.File) (err error) {
// defer errcapture.Do(&err, f.Close, "close file at the end")
//
// // Do something...
// if err := do(); err != nil {
// return err
// }
//
// return nil
// }
//
// The errcapture.ExhaustClose function provide the same functionality but takes an io.ReadCloser and exhausts the whole
// reader before closing. This is useful when trying to use http keep-alive connections because for the same connection
// to be re-used the whole response body needs to be exhausted.
//
// Check https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/efficientgo/tools/pkg/logerrcapture if you want to just log an error instead.
