31 * @defgroup DBusErrors Error reporting
32 * @ingroup  DBus
33 * @brief Error reporting
34 *
35 * Types and functions related to reporting errors.
36 *
37 *
38 * In essence D-BUS error reporting works as follows:
39 *
40 * @code
41 * DBusError error;
42 * _dbus_error_init (&error);
43 * dbus_some_function (arg1, arg2, &error);
44 * if (dbus_error_is_set (&error))
45 *   {
46 *     fprintf (stderr, "an error occurred: %s\n", error.message);
47 *     dbus_error_free (&error);
48 *   }
49 * @endcode
50 *
51 * There are some rules. An error passed to a D-BUS function must
52 * always be unset; you can't pass in an error that's already set.  If
53 * a function has a return code indicating whether an error occurred,
54 * and also a #DBusError parameter, then the error will always be set
55 * if and only if the return code indicates an error occurred. i.e.
56 * the return code and the error are never going to disagree.
57 *
58 * An error only needs to be freed if it's been set, not if
59 * it's merely been initialized.
60 *
61 * You can check the specific error that occurred using
62 * dbus_error_has_name().
63 *
