It was one giant all of text in pseudo-random order. Let's split it into paragraphs talk about one subject each. And unfortunately, the description of what happens when the error is not set was not correct. In general, various functions treat 0/NULL as not-an-error, and return 0.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure carries information about a D-Bus error
|
|
condition, or lack thereof. The functions described below may be used to set and query fields in this
|
|
structure.
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>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.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>The <structfield>message</structfield> field usually contains a human-readable string
|
|
describing the details, but might be <constant>NULL</constant>.</para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
An unset <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure should have both fields initialized to
|
|
<constant>NULL</constant>, and signifies lack of an error, i.e. success. Assign
|
|
<constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NULL</constant> to the structure in order to initialize both fields to
|
|
<constant>NULL</constant>. 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
|
|
contents again when they are not required anymore (see above). Do not use this call on error structures
|
|
that have already been set. 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_set()</function> will return an <varname>errno</varname>-like value (see
|
|
<citerefentry
|
|
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
|
|
determined from the specified error name <parameter>name</parameter>. If <parameter>name</parameter> is
|
|
<constant>NULL</constant>, it is assumed that no error occurred, and <constant>0</constant> is returned.
|
|
If <parameter>name</parameter> is nonnull, a negative value is always returned. If
|
|
<parameter>e</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, no error structure is initialized, but
|
|
<parameter>name</parameter> is still converted into an <varname>errno</varname>-style value.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_error_set()</function> is designed to be conveniently used in a
|
|
<function>return</function> statement. If <parameter>message</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, 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 will be set instead and
|
|
<constant>-ENOMEM</constant> returned. </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> may, 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 immediately return <constant>0</constant> if the
|
|
specified error parameter <parameter>error</parameter> is <constant>0</constant>. Otherwise, it 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 and the absolute value is
|
|
used implicitly. If the specified error <parameter>error</parameter> is non-zero, 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 <constant>-ENOMEM</constant> 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>,
|
|
<constant>0</constant> will be returned.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_error_copy()</function> will initialize <parameter>dst</parameter> using the
|
|
values in <parameter>e</parameter>, if <parameter>e</parameter> has been set with an error value before.
|
|
Otherwise, it will return immediately. If the strings in <parameter>e</parameter> were set using
|
|
<function>sd_bus_error_set_const()</function>, they will be shared. Otherwise, they will be
|
|
copied. Returns a converted <varname>errno</varname>-like, negative error code or <constant>0</constant>.
|
|
Before this call, <parameter>dst</parameter> must be unset, i.e. either freshly initialized with
|
|
<constant>NULL</constant> or reset using <function>sd_bus_error_free()</function>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_error_move()</function> is similar to <function>sd_bus_error_copy()</function>,
|
|
but will move any error information from <parameter>e</parameter> into <parameter>dst</parameter>,
|
|
resetting the former. This function cannot fail, as no new memory is allocated. Note that if
|
|
<parameter>e</parameter> is not set, <parameter>dst</parameter> is initializated to
|
|
<constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NULL</constant>. Moreover, if <parameter>dst</parameter> is
|
|
<constant>NULL</constant> no operation is executed on it and resources held by <parameter>e</parameter>
|
|
are freed and reset. Returns a converted <varname>errno</varname>-like, non-positive error value.</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_has_names_sentinel()</function> is similar to
|
|
<function>sd_bus_error_has_name()</function>, but takes multiple names to check against. The list must be
|
|
terminated with <constant>NULL</constant>. <function>sd_bus_error_has_names()</function>
|
|
is a macro wrapper around <function>sd_bus_error_has_names_sentinel()</function> that adds the
|
|
<constant>NULL</constant> sentinel automatically.</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 <constant>NULL</constant>),
|
|
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 <constant>NULL</constant>. The structure may be reused afterwards.</para>

<para>The functions <function>sd_bus_error_set()</function>, <function>sd_bus_error_setf()</function>,

|
<function>sd_bus_error_set_errno()</function>, <function>sd_bus_error_set_errnof()</function> and

<function>sd_bus_error_set_errnofv()</function>, return <constant>0</constant> when the specified error
