# `FFix.Discovery.Error`
[🔗](https://github.com/akash-akya/ffix/blob/v0.2.0/lib/ffix/discovery/error.ex#L1)

A metadata parsing or discovery failure.

`reason` identifies the failure. Parse errors include `line` and `text`;
subprocess errors include `argv`, `exit_status`, and captured `output` when
available. `:help_unavailable` means a registered component has no help
exposed by FFmpeg, not that the component is absent.

# `t`

```elixir
@type t() :: %FFix.Discovery.Error{
  __exception__: term(),
  argv: [String.t()] | nil,
  exit_status: term(),
  line: pos_integer() | nil,
  message: String.t(),
  output: binary() | nil,
  reason: atom(),
  text: String.t() | nil
}
```
