<title>Description</title>
<para>The <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure carries
information for a <filename>sd-bus</filename> error. The
functions described below can 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>. 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 project='man-pages'><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
assumed that no error occurred, 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> in the
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure
<parameter>e</parameter> points at will be filled in. 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 project='man-pages'><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 project='man-pages'><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-&gt;name</structname> to an errno-like 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.</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 project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>d
by the caller if necessary.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>Functions <function>sd_bus_error_set</function>,
<function>sd_bus_error_setf</function>,
<function>sd_bus_error_set_const</function>, when successful,
return the negative errno value corresponding to the
<parameter>name</parameter> parameter. Functions
<function>sd_bus_error_set_errno</function> and
<function>sd_bus_error_set_errnof</function>, when successful,
return the value of the <parameter>errno</parameter> parameter. If
an error occurs, one of the negative error values listed below
will be returned.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_error_get_errno</function> returns
<constant>false</constant> when <parameter>e</parameter> is
<constant>NULL</constant>, and a positive errno value mapped from
<parameter>e-&gt;name</parameter> otherwise.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_error_copy</function> returns 0 or a
positive integer on success, and one of the negative error values
listed below otherwise.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_error_is_set</function> returns
<constant>true</constant> when <parameter>e</parameter> and
<parameter>e-&gt;name</parameter> are non-<constant>NULL</constant>,
<constant>false</constant> otherwise.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_error_has_name</function> returns
<constant>true</constant> when <parameter>e</parameter> is
non-<constant>NULL</constant> and <parameter>e-&gt;name</parameter>
is equal to <parameter>name</parameter>,
<constant>false</constant> otherwise.</para>
