Typedef virErrorPtr

virError * virErrorPtr;

Function type virErrorFunc

void	virErrorFunc			(void * userData, 
					 virErrorPtr error)

Signature of a function to use when there is an error raised by the library.

virConnCopyLastError ()

int	virConnCopyLastError		(virConnectPtr conn, 
					 virErrorPtr to)

Copy the content of the last error caught on that connection One will need to free the result with virResetError()

virConnGetLastError ()

virErrorPtr	virConnGetLastError	(virConnectPtr conn)

Provide a pointer to the last error caught on that connection Simpler but may not be suitable for multithreaded accesses, in which case use virConnCopyLastError()

virConnResetLastError ()

void	virConnResetLastError		(virConnectPtr conn)

Reset the last error caught on that connection

virConnSetErrorFunc ()

void	virConnSetErrorFunc		(virConnectPtr conn, 
					 void * userData, 
					 virErrorFunc handler)

Set a connection error handling function, if @handler is NULL it will reset to default which is to pass error back to the global library handler.

virCopyLastError ()

int	virCopyLastError		(virErrorPtr to)

Copy the content of the last error caught at the library level One will need to free the result with virResetError()

virDefaultErrorFunc ()

void	virDefaultErrorFunc		(virErrorPtr err)

Default routine reporting an error to stderr.

virGetLastError ()

virErrorPtr	virGetLastError		(void)

Provide a pointer to the last error caught at the library level Simpler but may not be suitable for multithreaded accesses, in which case use virCopyLastError()

virResetError ()

void	virResetError			(virErrorPtr err)

Reset the error being pointed to

virResetLastError ()

void	virResetLastError		(void)

Reset the last error caught at the library level.

virSetErrorFunc ()

void	virSetErrorFunc			(void * userData, 
					 virErrorFunc handler)

Set a library global error handling function, if @handler is NULL, it will reset to default printing on stderr. The error raised there are those for which no handler at the connection level could caught.
