+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure carries
+    information for a <filename>libsystemd-bus</filename> error.
+    Functions described below can be used to set and query fields in
+    this structure. Field <structfield>name</structfield> contains a
+    short identifier of an error. It should follow the rules for error
+    names described in the D-Bus specification, subsection <ulink
+    url="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-protocol-names">Valid
+    Names</ulink>. The <structfield>message</structfield> is a human
+    readable string describing the details. When no longer necessary,
+    resources held by this structure should be destroyed with
+    <function>sd_bus_error_free</function>.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_error_set</function> will return an
+    errno-like negative value returned based on parameter
+    <parameter>name</parameter> (see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+    Various well-known D-Bus errors are converted to specific values,
+    and the remaining ones to <constant>-ENXIO</constant>. Well-known
+    D-Bus error names are available as constants
+    <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_FAILED</constant>, etc., listed above. If
+    <parameter>name</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, it is is
+    assumed that no error occured, and 0 is returned. This means that
+    this function may be conveniently used in a
+    <function>return</function> statement.</para>
+
+    <para>If <parameter>e</parameter> is not
+    <constant>NULL</constant>, <structfield>name</structfield> and
+    <structfield>message</structfield> will be filled-in in the
+    <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure
+    <parameter>e</parameter> points at. As described above,
+    <parameter>name</parameter> may be <constant>NULL</constant>,
+    which is treated as no error. Parameter
+    <parameter>message</parameter> may also be
+    <constant>NULL</constant>, in which case no message is specified.
+    <function>sd_bus_error_set</function> will make internal copies of
+    specified strings.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_error_setf</function> is similar to
+    <function>sd_bus_error_set</function>, but takes a
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    format string and corresponding arguments to generate
+    <structname>message</structname>.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_error_set_const</function> is similar to
+    <function>sd_bus_error_set</function>, but string parameters are
+    not copied internally, and must remain valid for the lifetime of
+    <parameter>e</parameter>.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_error_set_errno</function> will set
+    <structfield>name</structfield> based on an errno-like value.
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>strerror</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    will be used to set <structfield>message</structfield>. Well-known
+    D-Bus error names will be used for <structfield>name</structfield>
+    if available, otherwise a name in the
+    <literal>System.Error</literal> namespace will be generated.
+    </para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_error_set_errnof</function> is similar to
+    <function>sd_bus_error_set_errno</function>, but in addition to
+    <parameter>name</parameter>, takes a
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    format and corresponding arguments.
+    <structfield>name</structfield> will be generated from
+    <parameter>format</parameter> and the arguments.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_error_get_errno</function> is will convert
+    <structname>e->name</structname> to an errno-like value
+    using the same rules as <function>sd_bus_error_set</function>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_error_copy</function> will initialize
+    <parameter>dst</parameter> using the values in
+    <parameter>e</parameter>. If the strings in
+    <parameter>e</parameter> were set using
+    <function>sd_bus_set_error_const</function>, they will be shared.
+    Otherwie they wil be copied.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_error_is_set</function> will return
+    <constant>true</constant> if <parameter>e</parameter> is
+    non-<constant>NULL</constant> and an error has been set,
+    <constant>false</constant> otherwise.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_error_has_name</function> will return true
+    if <parameter>e</parameter> is non-<constant>NULL</constant> and
+    an error with the same <parameter>name</parameter> has been set,
+    <constant>false</constant> otherwise.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_error_free</function> will destroy resources
+    held by <parameter>e</parameter>. The parameter itself will not
+    be deallocated, and must be
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>d
+    by the caller if necessary.</para>
