# Selective Error Handling
What about functions returning different Error types?
In this example `func1()` can return either `Func1ErrorFunc2` or `Func1ErrorIO`.
We might want to `match` on `func1()` with something like:
~~~rust,ignore
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<Error + Send + Sync>> {
match func1() {
Err(e) if let Some(s) = e.downcast_chain_ref::<Func1ErrorIO>() =>
eprintln!("Func1ErrorIO:\n{:?}", s),
Err(e) if let Some(s) = e.downcast_chain_ref::<Func1ErrorFunc2>() =>
eprintln!("Func1ErrorFunc2:\n{:?}", s),
Ok(_) => {},
}
Ok(())
}
~~~
but this is not valid rust code, so we end up doing it the hard way.
In the next chapter, we will see, how to solve this more elegantly.
~~~rust
{{#include ../examples/tutorial9.rs}}
# #[allow(dead_code)]
# mod chainerror {
{{#rustdoc_include ../src/lib.rs:-1}}
# }
