Reply with an error to a D-Bus method call
Synopsis
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
int sd_bus_reply_method_error(sd_bus_message *call, const sd_bus_error *e);
int sd_bus_reply_method_errorf(sd_bus_message *call, const char *name, const char *format, ...);
int sd_bus_reply_method_errorfv(sd_bus_message *call, const char *name, const char *format, va_list ap);
int sd_bus_reply_method_errno(sd_bus_message *call, int error, const sd_bus_error *p);
int sd_bus_reply_method_errnof(sd_bus_message *call, int error, const char *format, ...);
int sd_bus_reply_method_errnofv(sd_bus_message *call, int error, const char *format, va_list ap);
Description
The sd_bus_reply_method_error() function sends an error reply to the call message. The error structure e specifies the error to send, and is used as described in sd_bus_message_new_method_error(3). If no reply is expected to call, this function succeeds without sending a reply.
The sd_bus_reply_method_errorf() is to sd_bus_reply_method_error() what sd_bus_message_new_method_errorf() is to sd_bus_message_new_method_error().
The sd_bus_reply_method_errno() is to sd_bus_reply_method_error() what sd_bus_message_new_method_errno() is to sd_bus_message_new_method_error().
The sd_bus_reply_method_errnof() is to sd_bus_reply_method_error() what sd_bus_message_new_method_errnof() is to sd_bus_message_new_method_error().
Return Value
This function returns a non-negative integer if the error reply was successfully sent or if call does not expect a reply. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
- -EINVAL
The input parameter call is NULL.
Message call is not a method call message.
Message call is not attached to a bus.
The error parameter e to sd_bus_reply_method_error() is not set, see sd_bus_error_is_set(3).
- -EPERM
Message call has been sealed.
- -ENOTCONN
The bus to which message call is attached is not connected.
- -ENOMEM
Memory allocation failed.
In addition, any error returned by sd_bus_send(1) may be returned.
Notes
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started.
