In addition to this list, in sd-bus, the special error namespace "System.Error." is used to map arbitrary Linux system errors (as defined by [**errno**(3)](/errno/3.md)) to D-Bus errors and back. For example, the error **EUCLEAN** is mapped to "System.Error.EUCLEAN" and back. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_FAILED** A generic error indication. See the error message for further details. This error name should be avoided, in favor of a more expressive error name. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_NO\_MEMORY** A memory allocation failed, and the requested operation could not be completed. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_SERVICE\_UNKNOWN** The contacted bus service is unknown and cannot be activated. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_NAME\_HAS\_NO\_OWNER** The specified bus service name currently has no owner. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_NO\_REPLY** A message did not receive a reply. This error is usually generated after a timeout. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_IO\_ERROR** Generic input/output error, for example when accessing a socket or other I/O context. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_BAD\_ADDRESS** The specified D-Bus bus address string is malformed. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_NOT\_SUPPORTED** The requested operation is not supported on the local system. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_LIMITS\_EXCEEDED** Some limited resource has been exhausted. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_ACCESS\_DENIED** Access to a resource has been denied due to security restrictions. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_AUTH\_FAILED** Authentication did not complete successfully. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_NO\_SERVER** Unable to connect to the specified server. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_TIMEOUT** An operation timed out. Note that method calls which timeout generate a **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_NO\_REPLY**. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_NO\_NETWORK** No network available to execute requested network operation on. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_ADDRESS\_IN\_USE** The specified network address is already being listened on. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_DISCONNECTED** The connection has been terminated. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_INVALID\_ARGS** One or more invalid arguments have been passed. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_FILE\_NOT\_FOUND** The requested file could not be found. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_FILE\_EXISTS** The requested file already exists. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_UNKNOWN\_METHOD** The requested method does not exist in the selected interface. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_UNKNOWN\_OBJECT** The requested object does not exist in the selected service. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_UNKNOWN\_INTERFACE** The requested interface does not exist on the selected object. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_UNKNOWN\_PROPERTY** The requested property does not exist in the selected interface. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_PROPERTY\_READ\_ONLY** A write operation was requested on a read-only property. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_UNIX\_PROCESS\_ID\_UNKNOWN** The requested PID is not known. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_INVALID\_SIGNATURE** The specified message signature is not valid. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_INCONSISTENT\_MESSAGE** The passed message does not validate correctly. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_MATCH\_RULE\_NOT\_FOUND** The specified match rule does not exist. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_MATCH\_RULE\_INVALID** The specified match rule is invalid. Added in version 223. **SD\_BUS\_ERROR\_INTERACTIVE\_AUTHORIZATION\_REQUIRED** Access to the requested operation is not permitted. However, it might be available after interactive authentication. This is usually returned by method calls supporting a framework for additional interactive authorization, when interactive authorization was not enabled with the [**sd\_bus\_message\_set\_allow\_interactive\_authorization**(3)](/sd_bus_message_set_allow_interactive_authorization/3.md) for the method call message. Added in version 223. ## NOTES Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the **libsystemd** [**pkg-config**(1)](/pkg-config/1.md) file. The code described here uses [**getenv**(3)](/getenv/3.md), which is declared to be not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not call [**setenv**(3)](/setenv/3.md) 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. ## SEE ALSO [**systemd**(1)](/systemd/1.md), [**libsystemd**(3)](/libsystemd/3.md), [**sd-bus**(3)](/sd-bus/3.md), [**sd\_bus\_error**(3)](/sd_bus_error/3.md), [**sd\_bus\_message\_set\_allow\_interactive\_authorization**(3)](/sd_bus_message_set_allow_interactive_authorization/3.md), [**errno**(3)](/errno/3.md), [**strerror\_r**(3)](/strerror_r/3.md)
