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

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

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