# Catacomb package

The **`catacomb`** package is a subpackage in the Go `worker` library that leverages [the tomb package](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/juju/4.0/contributor/reference/tomb-package.md#tomb-package) to bind the lifetimes of, and track the errors of, a group of related [workers](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/juju/4.0/contributor/reference/worker.md#worker-cont). In Juju it is used in precisely this way.
