// Package credentials provides credential retrieval and management
// for S3 compatible object storage.
//
// By default the Credentials.Get() will cache the successful result of a
// Provider's Retrieve() until Provider.IsExpired() returns true. At which
// point Credentials will call Provider's Retrieve() to get new credential Value.
//
// The Provider is responsible for determining when credentials have expired.
// It is also important to note that Credentials will always call Retrieve the
// first time Credentials.Get() is called.
//
// Example of using the environment variable credentials.
//
// creds := NewFromEnv()
// // Retrieve the credentials value
// credValue, err := creds.Get()
// if err != nil {
// // handle error
// }
//
// Example of forcing credentials to expire and be refreshed on the next Get().
// This may be helpful to proactively expire credentials and refresh them sooner
// than they would naturally expire on their own.
//
// creds := NewFromIAM("")
// creds.Expire()
// credsValue, err := creds.Get()
// // New credentials will be retrieved instead of from cache.
//
//
// Custom Provider
//
// Each Provider built into this package also provides a helper method to generate
// a Credentials pointer setup with the provider. To use a custom Provider just
// create a type which satisfies the Provider interface and pass it to the
// NewCredentials method.
//
// type MyProvider struct{}
// func (m *MyProvider) Retrieve() (Value, error) {...}
// func (m *MyProvider) IsExpired() bool {...}
//
// creds := NewCredentials(&MyProvider{})
// credValue, err := creds.Get()
//
