## 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_error 3. If no reply is expected to call, this function returns success without sending 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

These functions return 0 if the error reply was successfully sent or if none was expected, and a negative errno-style error code otherwise.

### Errors

Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

`-EINVAL`

  The call message call is `NULL`.

  Message call is not a method call message.

  Message call is not attached to a bus.

  The error error parameter 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 message returned by sd_bus_send 1 may be returned.
