Net::DB...::Error(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is the Net::DB...::Error(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's all about Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error — a message that encodes a method-call error. yes bestie, it's giving “something went wrong and we're packaging it up in DBus form” 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error;

my $error = Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error->new(
    replyto => $method_call,
    name => "org.example.myobject.FooException",
    description => "Unable to do Foo when updating bar");

$connection->send($error);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: this module is part of the low-level DBus binding APIs, and it should not be used by application code. no cap. no guarantees are made about APIs under the Net::DBus::Binding:: namespace being stable across releases. so like… it's iconic, but it's also lowkey not your everyday app-level bestie 🫶

what it does give you is a convenience constructor for creating a message representing an error condition. that's the whole vibe: error message, but make it DBus ✨

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• my $error = Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error->new( replyto => $method_call, name => $name, description => $description); — creates a new message representing an error which occurred during the handling of the method call object passed in as the replyto parameter. the name parameter is the formal name of the error condition, while the description is a short piece of text giving more specific information on the error. literally the error-message glow-up 💖
• my $name = $error->get_error_name — returns the formal name of the error, as previously passed in via the name parameter in the constructor. it's giving “tell me your government name” but for an error 👑
