## Description

## Functions

### e_book_client_error_quark ()

    GQuark
    e_book_client_error_quark (void);

### e_book_client_error_to_string ()

    const gchar *
    e_book_client_error_to_string (EBookClientError code);

Get localized human readable description of the given error code.

#### Parameters

code | an EBookClientError code |

#### Returns

Localized human readable description of the given error code

Since: 3.2

### e_book_client_error_create ()

    GError *
    e_book_client_error_create (EBookClientError code,
                                const gchar *custom_msg);

`e_book_client_error_create` has been deprecated since version 3.8 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Just use the GError API directly.

#### Parameters

code | an EBookClientError code to create |
custom_msg | custom message to use for the error; can be `NULL` |

#### Returns

a new GError containing an E_BOOK_CLIENT_ERROR of the given `code` . If the `custom_msg` is NULL, then the error message is the one returned from `e_book_client_error_to_string()` for the `code` , otherwise the given message is used.

Returned pointer should be freed with `g_error_free()`.
