    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The <function>sd_bus_reply_method_error()</function> function sends an error reply to the
    <parameter>call</parameter> message. The error structure <parameter>e</parameter> specifies the
    error to send, and is used as described in
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_new_method_error</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    If no reply is expected to <parameter>call</parameter>, this function succeeds without sending a
    reply.</para>

    <para>The <function>sd_bus_reply_method_errorf()</function> is to
    <function>sd_bus_reply_method_error()</function> what
    <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_errorf()</function> is to
    <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_error()</function>.</para>

    <para>The <function>sd_bus_reply_method_errno()</function> is to
    <function>sd_bus_reply_method_error()</function> what
    <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_errno()</function> is to
    <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_error()</function>.</para>

    <para>The <function>sd_bus_reply_method_errnof()</function> is to
    <function>sd_bus_reply_method_error()</function> what
    <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_errnof()</function> is to
    <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_error()</function>.</para>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>This function returns a non-negative integer if the error reply was successfully sent or
    if <parameter>call</parameter> does not expect a reply. On failure, it returns a negative
    errno-style error code.</para>

    <refsect2>
      <title>Errors</title>
