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. Each Status message contains three pieces of data: error code, error message, and error details.
You can find out more about this error model and how to work with it in the API Design Guide.
Fields

The status code, which should be an enum value of google.rpc.Code.

It comprises three data points: an `int32` error `code`, a developer-facing `string` `message` in English, and a `details` field containing a list of error messages. The `code` represents an enumerated value, the `message` is meant for developers, while `details` carry specifics for a given error. End-users are meant to receive localized messages.\n"]]
