<title>Description</title>
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_error()</function> function creates
a new bus message object that is an error reply to the
<parameter>call</parameter> message, and returns it in the
<parameter>m</parameter> output parameter. The error information from error
<parameter>e</parameter> is appended: the <parameter>name</parameter> field of
<parameter>e</parameter> is used as the error identifier in the reply header (for
example an error name such as
<literal>org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported</literal> or the equivalent
symbolic <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED</constant>), and the
<parameter>message</parameter> field is set as the human readable error message
string if present. The error <parameter>e</parameter> must have the
<parameter>name</parameter> field set, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_error_is_set</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_errorf()</function> function
creates an error reply similarly to
<function>sd_bus_message_new_method_error()</function>, but instead of a ready
error structure, it takes an error identifier string <parameter>name</parameter>,
plus a <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
format string <parameter>format</parameter> and corresponding arguments. An error
reply is sent with the error identifier <parameter>name</parameter> and the
formatted string as the message. <parameter>name</parameter> and
<parameter>format</parameter> must not be <constant>NULL</constant>.
</para>
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_errno()</function> function creates
an error reply similarly to
<function>sd_bus_message_new_method_error()</function>, but in addition to the
error structure <parameter>p</parameter>, it takes an
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
error value in parameter <parameter>error</parameter>. If the error
<parameter>p</parameter> is set (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_error_is_set</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
it is used in the reply. Otherwise, <parameter>error</parameter> is translated to
an error identifier and used to create a new error structure using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_error_set_errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and that is used in the reply. (If <parameter>error</parameter> is zero, no error
is actually set, and an error reply with no information is created.)</para>
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_errnof()</function> function
creates an error reply similarly to
<function>sd_bus_message_new_method_error()</function>. It takes an
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
error value in parameter <parameter>error</parameter>, plus a <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
format string <parameter>format</parameter> and corresponding arguments.
<literal>%m</literal> may be used in the format string to refer to the error
string corresponding to the specified errno code. The error message is initalized
using the error identifier generated from <constant>error</constant> and the
formatted string. (If <parameter>error</parameter> is zero, no error is actually
set, and an error reply with no information is created.)</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>These functions return 0 if the error reply was successfully created, and a
negative errno-style error code otherwise.</para>
