+ <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>
