Motivated by the rank-modulation scheme with applications to flash memory, we
consider Gray codes capable of detecting a single error, also known as
snake-in-the-box codes. We study two error metrics: Kendall's $\tau$-metric,
which applies to charge-constrained errors, and the $\ell_\infty$-metric, which
is useful in the case of limited magnitude errors. In both cases we construct
snake-in-the-box codes with rate asymptotically tending to 1. We also provide
efficient successor-calculation functions, as well as ranking and unranking
functions. Finally, we also study bounds on the parameters of such codes.
