+//! Module for reading configuration values from environment variables or secure files.
+//!
+//! This module provides utilities to retrieve configuration values from environment variables,
+//! with support for fallback values and secure file-based secrets. It defines error types for
+//! configuration loading and exposes a unified `Result` type for error handling.
+//!
+//! # Types
+//!
+//! - [`ConfigError`]: Represents errors that can occur when reading configuration values.
+//! - [`ConfigErrorKind`]: Enum describing the kind of configuration error (I/O, file not found, or not found).
+//! - [`ConfigErrorMessage`]: Simple error message wrapper.
+//!
+//! # Functions
+//!
+//! - [`get_env_value`]: Retrieves a configuration value from the environment or a secure file, with optional fallback.
+//!
+//! # Usage
+//!
+//! Use [`get_env_value`] with an [`EnvKey`] to retrieve configuration values, handling errors as needed.
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use no_man_sky::config::EnvKey;
+//! use no_man_sky::config::get_env_value;
+//! let env_key = EnvKey::key("MY_CONFIG_KEY");
+//! match get_env_value(&env_key) {
+//!     Ok(value) => println!("Config value: {}", value),
+//!     Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
+//! }
+//! ```
