133 * @defgroup DBusErrors Error reporting
135 * @brief Error reporting
137 * Types and functions related to reporting errors.
140 * In essence D-Bus error reporting works as follows:
144 * dbus_error_init (&error);
145 * dbus_some_function (arg1, arg2, &error);
146 * if (dbus_error_is_set (&error))
148 * fprintf (stderr, "an error occurred: %s\n", error.message);
149 * dbus_error_free (&error);
153 * By convention, all functions allow #NULL instead of a DBusError*,
154 * so callers who don't care about the error can ignore it.
156 * There are some rules. An error passed to a D-Bus function must
157 * always be unset; you can't pass in an error that's already set. If
158 * a function has a return code indicating whether an error occurred,
159 * and also a #DBusError parameter, then the error will always be set
160 * if and only if the return code indicates an error occurred. i.e.
161 * the return code and the error are never going to disagree.
163 * An error only needs to be freed if it's been set, not if
164 * it's merely been initialized.
166 * You can check the specific error that occurred using
167 * dbus_error_has_name().
169 * Errors will not be set for programming errors, such as passing
170 * invalid arguments to the libdbus API. Instead, libdbus will print
171 * warnings, exit on a failed assertion, or even crash in those cases
172 * (in other words, incorrect use of the API results in undefined
173 * behavior, possibly accompanied by helpful debugging output if
180 * Initializes a DBusError structure. Does not allocate any memory;
181 * the error only needs to be freed if it is set at some point.
183 * @param error the DBusError.

194 real = (DBusRealError *)error;
197 real->message = NULL;
199 real->const_message = TRUE;
203 * Frees an error that's been set (or just initialized),
204 * then reinitializes the error as in dbus_error_init().
206 * @param error memory where the error is stored.

228 * error is #NULL. The message may be #NULL, which means a default
229 * message will be deduced from the name. The default message will be
230 * totally useless, though, so using a #NULL message is not recommended.
232 * Because this function does not copy the error name or message, you
233 * must ensure the name and message are global data that won't be
234 * freed. You probably want dbus_set_error() instead, in most cases.
236 * @param error the error.or #NULL
237 * @param name the error name (not copied!!!)
238 * @param message the error message (not copied!!!)
