### dbus_g_error_has_name ()

    gboolean            dbus_g_error_has_name               (GError *error,
                                                             const char *name);

Determine whether D-BUS error name for a remote exception matches the given name. This function is intended to be invoked on a GError returned from an invocation of a remote method, e.g. via dbus_g_proxy_end_call. It will silently return FALSE for errors which are not remote D-BUS exceptions (i.e. with a domain other than DBUS_GERROR or a code other than DBUS_GERROR_REMOTE_EXCEPTION).

`error` : | the GError given from the remote method
`name` : | the D-BUS error name
Returns : | TRUE iff the remote error has the given name

### dbus_g_error_get_name ()

    const char *        dbus_g_error_get_name               (GError *error);

This function may only be invoked on a GError returned from an invocation of a remote method, e.g. via dbus_g_proxy_end_call. Moreover, you must ensure that the error's domain is DBUS_GERROR, and the code is DBUS_GERROR_REMOTE_EXCEPTION.

`error` : | the GError given from the remote method
Returns : | the D-BUS name for a remote exception.

### dbus_g_error_quark ()

    GQuark              dbus_g_error_quark                  (void);

The implementation of DBUS_GERROR error domain. See documentation for GError in GLib reference manual.

Returns : | the error domain quark for use with GError

### dbus_g_error_domain_register ()

    void                dbus_g_error_domain_register        (GQuark domain,
                                                             const char *default_iface,
                                                             GType code_enum);

Register a GError domain and set of codes with D-Bus. When an object raises a GError in the domain `domain` from one of its D-Bus methods, the D-Bus error name used will be `default_iface`, followed by a dot, followed by the GEnumValue.value_nick corresponding to the GError.code. For D-Bus, it's conventional to use an error name (value_nick) that is in CamelCase.

(For instance, if a D-Bus method `com.example.MyObject.GetThings` can raise a GError with domain `MY_ERROR` and code `MY_ERROR_NOT_HAPPY`, you could call `dbus_g_error_domain_register (MY_ERROR, "com.example.MyError", MY_TYPE_ERROR)`, and set up the value_nick for `MY_ERROR_NOT_HAPPY` to be `NotHappy`, resulting in the D-Bus error string `com.example.MyError.NotHappy`.)

If `default_iface` is `NULL`, the D-Bus interface of the method that failed will be used.

(For instance, if the above example had called `dbus_g_error_domain_register (MY_ERROR, NULL, MY_TYPE_ERROR)` instead, then the D-Bus error string would be `com.example.MyObject.NotHappy`.)

`domain` : | the GError domain
`default_iface` : | the prefix used for error values, or `NULL`
`code_enum` : | a GType for a GEnum of the error codes
