- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para>The <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure carries
- information about a D-Bus error condition. The functions described
- below may be used to set and query fields in this structure. The
- <structfield>name</structfield> field 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>. A number of common, standardized error names are
- described in
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-bus-errors</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
- but additional domain-specific errors may be defined by
- applications. The <structfield>message</structfield> field usually
- contains a human-readable string describing the details, but might
- be NULL. An unset <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure
- should have both fields initialized to NULL. Set an error
- structure to <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NULL</constant> in order to
- reset both fields to NULL. When no longer necessary, resources
- held by the <structname>sd_bus_error</structname>structure should
- be destroyed with <function>sd_bus_error_free()</function>.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_bus_error_set()</function> sets an error
- structure to the specified name and message strings. The strings
- will be copied into internal, newly allocated memory. It is
- essential to free the error structure again when it is not
- required anymore (see above). The function will return an
- <varname>errno</varname>-like negative value (see <citerefentry
- project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
- determined from the specified error name. Various well-known
- D-Bus errors are converted to well-known <varname>errno</varname>
- counterparts, and the other ones to <constant>-EIO</constant>. See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-bus-errors</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for a list of well-known error names. Additional error mappings
- may be defined with
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_error_add_map</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If
- <parameter>e</parameter> is NULL, no error structure is initialized,
- but the error is still converted into an
- <varname>errno</varname>-style error. If
- <parameter>name</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, it is
- assumed that no error occurred, and 0 is returned. This means that
- this function may be conveniently used in a
- <function>return</function> statement. If
- <parameter>message</parameter> is NULL, no message is set. This
- call can fail if no memory may be allocated for the name and
- message strings, in which case an
- <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NO_MEMORY</constant> error might be set
- instead and -ENOMEM be returned. Do not use this call on error
- structures that are already initialized. If you intend to reuse an
- error structure, free the old data stored in it with
- <function>sd_bus_error_free()</function> first.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_bus_error_setf()</function> is similar to
- <function>sd_bus_error_set()</function>, but takes a <citerefentry
- project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- format string and corresponding arguments to generate the
- <structfield>message</structfield> field.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_bus_error_set_const()</function> is similar to
- <function>sd_bus_error_set()</function>, but the string parameters
- are not copied internally, and must hence remain constant and
- valid for the lifetime of <parameter>e</parameter>. Use this call
- to avoid memory allocations when setting error structures. Since
- this call does not allocate memory, it will not fail with an
- out-of-memory condition as
- <function>sd_bus_error_set()</function> can, as described
- above. Alternatively, the
- <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_MAKE_CONST()</constant> macro may be used
- to generate a literal, constant bus error structure
- on-the-fly.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_bus_error_set_errno()</function> will set
- <structfield>name</structfield> from an
- <varname>errno</varname>-like value that is converted to a D-Bus
- error. <citerefentry
- project='die-net'><refentrytitle>strerror_r</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 applicable, otherwise a name in the
- <literal>System.Error.</literal> namespace will be generated. The
- sign of the specified error number is ignored. The absolute value
- is used implicitly. The call always returns a negative value, for
- convenient usage in <function>return</function> statements. This
- call might fail due to lack of memory, in which case an
- <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NO_MEMORY</constant> error is set instead,
- and -ENOMEM is returned.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_bus_error_set_errnof()</function> is similar to
- <function>sd_bus_error_set_errno()</function>, but in addition to
- <parameter>error</parameter>, takes a <citerefentry
- project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- format string and corresponding arguments. The
- <structfield>message</structfield> field will be generated from
- <parameter>format</parameter> and the arguments.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_bus_error_set_errnofv()</function> is similar to
- <function>sd_bus_error_set_errnof()</function>, but takes the
- format string parameters as <citerefentry
- project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>va_arg</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- parameter list.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_bus_error_get_errno()</function> converts the
- <structfield>name</structfield> field of an error structure to an
- <varname>errno</varname>-like (positive) value using the same
- rules as <function>sd_bus_error_set()</function>. If
- <parameter>e</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, 0 will be
- returned.</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.
- Otherwise, they will be copied. Returns a converted
- <varname>errno</varname>-like, negative error code.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_bus_error_is_set()</function> will return a
- non-zero value 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 a
- non-zero value 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
- project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>d
- by the caller if necessary. The function may also be called safely
- on unset errors (error structures with both fields set to NULL),
- in which case it performs no operation. This call will reset the
- error structure after freeing the data, so that all fields are set
- to NULL. The structure may be reused afterwards.</para>

- <function>sd_bus_error_set_errnof()</function> and
- <function>sd_bus_error_set_errnofv()</function>, when successful,

- listed below will be returned.</para>

-
- <para><function>sd_bus_error_copy()</function> returns 0 or a
- positive integer on success, and a negative error value converted
