Declaration

GError*
g_dbus_error_new_for_dbus_error (
  const gchar* dbus_error_name,
  const gchar* dbus_error_message
)

Description

Creates a GError based on the contents of dbus_error_name and dbus_error_message.

Errors registered with g_dbus_error_register_error() will be looked up using dbus_error_name and if a match is found, the error domain and code is used. Applications can use g_dbus_error_get_remote_error() to recover dbus_error_name.

If a match against a registered error is not found and the D-Bus error name is in a form as returned by g_dbus_error_encode_gerror() the error domain and code encoded in the name is used to create the GError. Also, dbus_error_name is added to the error message such that it can be recovered with g_dbus_error_get_remote_error().

Otherwise, a GError with the error code G_IO_ERROR_DBUS_ERROR in the G_IO_ERROR error domain is returned. Also, dbus_error_name is added to the error message such that it can be recovered with g_dbus_error_get_remote_error().

In all three cases, dbus_error_name can always be recovered from the returned GError using the g_dbus_error_get_remote_error() function (unless g_dbus_error_strip_remote_error() hasn’t been used on the returned error).

This function is typically only used in object mappings to prepare GError instances for applications. Regular applications should not use it.
