109 * @defgroup DBusErrors Error reporting
111 * @brief Error reporting
113 * Types and functions related to reporting errors.
116 * In essence D-Bus error reporting works as follows:
120 * dbus_error_init (&error);
121 * dbus_some_function (arg1, arg2, &error);
122 * if (dbus_error_is_set (&error))
124 * fprintf (stderr, "an error occurred: %s\n", error.message);
125 * dbus_error_free (&error);
129 * By convention, all functions allow #NULL instead of a DBusError*,
130 * so callers who don't care about the error can ignore it.
132 * There are some rules. An error passed to a D-Bus function must
133 * always be unset; you can't pass in an error that's already set. If
134 * a function has a return code indicating whether an error occurred,
135 * and also a #DBusError parameter, then the error will always be set
136 * if and only if the return code indicates an error occurred. i.e.
137 * the return code and the error are never going to disagree.
139 * An error only needs to be freed if it's been set, not if
140 * it's merely been initialized.
142 * You can check the specific error that occurred using
143 * dbus_error_has_name().
145 * Errors will not be set for programming errors, such as passing
146 * invalid arguments to the libdbus API. Instead, libdbus will print
147 * warnings, exit on a failed assertion, or even crash in those cases
148 * (in other words, incorrect use of the API results in undefined
149 * behavior, possibly accompanied by helpful debugging output if
156 * Initializes a DBusError structure. Does not allocate any memory;
157 * the error only needs to be freed if it is set at some point.
159 * @param error the DBusError.
162 dbus_error_init (DBusError *error)
166 _dbus_return_if_fail (error != NULL);
168 _dbus_assert (sizeof (DBusError) == sizeof (DBusRealError));
170 real = (DBusRealError *)error;
173 real->message = NULL;
175 real->const_message = TRUE;
179 * Frees an error that's been set (or just initialized),
180 * then reinitializes the error as in dbus_error_init().
182 * @param error memory where the error is stored.

203 * Assigns an error name and message to a DBusError. Does nothing if
204 * error is #NULL. The message may be #NULL, which means a default
205 * message will be deduced from the name. The default message will be
206 * totally useless, though, so using a #NULL message is not recommended.
208 * Because this function does not copy the error name or message, you
209 * must ensure the name and message are global data that won't be
210 * freed. You probably want dbus_set_error() instead, in most cases.
212 * @param error the error.or #NULL
213 * @param name the error name (not copied!!!)
214 * @param message the error message (not copied!!!)
