    <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_error</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    If no reply is expected to <parameter>call</parameter>, this function returns
    success without sending reply.</para>

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

    <title>Return Value</title>

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