*
- * Types and functions related to reporting errors.
+ * Expands to a suitable initializer for a DBusError on the stack.
+ * Declaring a DBusError with:
*
+ * @code
+ * DBusError error = DBUS_ERROR_INIT;
*
- * In essence D-BUS error reporting works as follows:
+ * do_things_with (&error);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * is a more concise form of:
*
* @code
* DBusError error;
+ *
* dbus_error_init (&error);
- * dbus_some_function (arg1, arg2, &error);
- * if (dbus_error_is_set (&error))
- * {
- * fprintf (stderr, "an error occurred: %s\n", error.message);
- * dbus_error_free (&error);
- * }
+ * do_things_with (&error);
* @endcode
- *
- * There are some rules. An error passed to a D-BUS function must
- * always be unset; you can't pass in an error that's already set. If
- * a function has a return code indicating whether an error occurred,
- * and also a #DBusError parameter, then the error will always be set
- * if and only if the return code indicates an error occurred. i.e.
- * the return code and the error are never going to disagree.
- *
- * An error only needs to be freed if it's been set, not if
- * it's merely been initialized.
- *
- * You can check the specific error that occurred using
- * dbus_error_has_name().
