-# Sentry Rust SDK: sentry-anyhow
+Adds support for capturing Sentry errors from [`anyhow::Error`].
 
-Adds support for capturing Sentry errors from `anyhow::Error`.
+This integration adds a new event *source*, which allows you to create events directly
+from an [`anyhow::Error`] struct.  As it is only an event source it only needs to be
+enabled using the `anyhow` cargo feature, it does not need to be enabled in the call to
+[`sentry::init`](https://docs.rs/sentry/*/sentry/fn.init.html).
+
+This integration does not need to be installed, instead it provides an extra function to
+capture [`anyhow::Error`], optionally exposing it as a method on the
+[`sentry::Hub`](https://docs.rs/sentry/*/sentry/struct.Hub.html) using the
+[`AnyhowHubExt`] trait.
+
+Like a plain [`std::error::Error`] being captured, [`anyhow::Error`] is captured with a
+chain of all error sources, if present.  See
+[`sentry::capture_error`](https://docs.rs/sentry/*/sentry/fn.capture_error.html) for
+details of this.
