/**
 * The `Status` type defines a logical error model that is suitable for
 * different programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It is
 * used by [gRPC](https://github.com/grpc). The error model is designed to be:
 *
 * - Simple to use and understand for most users
 * - Flexible enough to meet unexpected needs
 *
 * # Overview
 *
 * The `Status` message contains three pieces of data: error code, error
 * message, and error details. The error code should be an enum value of
 * google.rpc.Code, but it may accept additional error codes
 * if needed.  The error message should be a developer-facing English message
 * that helps developers *understand* and *resolve* the error. If a localized
 * user-facing error message is needed, put the localized message in the error
 * details or localize it in the client. The optional error details may contain
 * arbitrary information about the error. There is a predefined set of error
 * detail types in the package `google.rpc` that can be used for common error
 * conditions.
 *
 * # Language mapping
 *
 * The `Status` message is the logical representation of the error model, but it
 * is not necessarily the actual wire format. When the `Status` message is
 * exposed in different client libraries and different wire protocols, it can be
 * mapped differently. For example, it will likely be mapped to some exceptions
 * in Java, but more likely mapped to some error codes in C.
 *
 * # Other uses
 *
 * The error model and the `Status` message can be used in a variety of
 * environments, either with or without APIs, to provide a
 * consistent developer experience across different environments.
 *
 * Example uses of this error model include:
 *
 * - Partial errors. If a service needs to return partial errors to the client,
 *     it may embed the `Status` in the normal response to indicate the partial
 *     errors.
 *
 * - Workflow errors. A typical workflow has multiple steps. Each step may
 *     have a `Status` message for error reporting.
 *
 * - Batch operations. If a client uses batch request and batch response, the
 *     `Status` message should be used directly inside batch response, one for
 *     each error sub-response.
 *
 * - Asynchronous operations. If an API call embeds asynchronous operation
 *     results in its response, the status of those operations should be
 *     represented directly using the `Status` message.
 *
 * - Logging. If some API errors are stored in logs, the message `Status` could
 *     be used directly after any stripping needed for security/privacy reasons.
 *
 * @property {number} code
 *   The status code, which should be an enum value of
 *   google.rpc.Code.
 *
 * @property {string} message
 *   A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any
 *   user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the
 *   google.rpc.Status.details field, or localized
 *   by the client.
 *
 * @property {Object[]} details
 *   A list of messages that carry the error details.  There is a common set of
 *   message types for APIs to use.
 *
 *   This object should have the same structure as [Any]{@link google.protobuf.Any}
 *
 * @typedef Status
 * @memberof google.rpc
 * @see [google.rpc.Status definition in proto format]{@link https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/blob/master/google/rpc/status.proto}
