+D-Bus Method Return Error Codes
+===============================
+
+The motivation of having detailed error is to provide context-based failure
+reasons along with D-Bus method return so that D-Bus clients can build metrics
+and optimize their application based on these failure reasons. For instance, a
+client can build retry mechanism for a connection failure or improve the
+bottleneck of use scenario based on actionable metrics.
+
+These error codes are context-based but not necessarily tied to interface or
+method calls. For instance, if a pairing request failed due to connection
+failure, connection error would be attached to the method return of Pair().
+
+BR/EDR connection already connected
+===================================
+	errno:	EALREADY, EISCONN
+
+	Either the profile is already connected or ACL connection is in place.
+
+BR/EDR connection page timeout
+==============================
+	errno:	EHOSTDOWN
+
+	Failed due to page timeout.
+
+BR/EDR connection profile unavailable
+=====================================
+	errno:	ENOPROTOOPT
+
+	Failed to find connectable services or the target service.
+
+BR/EDR connection SDP search
+============================
+	errno:	none
+
+	Failed to complete the SDP search.
+
+BR/EDR connection create socket
+===============================
+	errno:	EIO
+
+	Failed to create or connect to BT IO socket. This can also indicate
+	hardware failure in the controller.
+
+BR/EDR connection invalid arguments
+===================================
+	errno:	EHOSTUNREACH
+
+	Failed due to invalid arguments.
+
+BR/EDR connection not powered
+=============================
+	errno:	EHOSTUNREACH
+
+	Failed due to adapter not powered.
+
+BR/EDR connection not supported
+===============================
+	errno:	EOPNOTSUPP, EPROTONOSUPPORT
+
+	Failed due to unsupported state transition of L2CAP channel or other
+	features either by the local host or the remote.
+
+BR/EDR connection bad socket
+============================
+	errno:	EBADFD
+
+	Failed due to the socket is in bad state.
+
+BR/EDR connection memory allocation
+===================================
+	errno:	ENOMEM
+
+	Failed to allocate memory in either host stack or controller.
+
+BR/EDR connection busy
+======================
+	errno:	EBUSY
+
+	Failed due to other ongoing operations, such as pairing, busy L2CAP
+	channel or the operation disallowed by the controller.
+
+BR/EDR connection concurrent connection limit
+=============================================
+	errno:	EMLINK
+
+	Failed due to reaching the concurrent connection limit to a device.
+
+BR/EDR connection timeout
+=========================
+	errno:	ETIMEDOUT
+
+	Failed due to connection timeout
+
+BR/EDR connection refused
+=========================
+	errno:	ECONNREFUSED
+
+	Refused by the remote device due to limited resource, security reason
+	or unacceptable address type.
+
+BR/EDR connection aborted by remote
+===================================
+	errno:	ECONNRESET
+
+	Terminated by the remote device due to limited resource or power off.
+
+BR/EDR connection aborted by local
+==================================
+	errno:	ECONNABORTED
+
+	Aborted by the local host.
+
+BR/EDR connection LMP protocol error
+====================================
+	errno:	EPROTO
+
+	Failed due to LMP protocol error.
+
+BR/EDR connection canceled
+==========================
+	errno:	none
+
+	Failed due to cancellation caused by adapter drop, unexpected device
+	drop, orincoming disconnection request before connection request is
+	completed.
+
+BR/EDR connection unknown error
+===============================
+	errno:	ENOSYS
+
+	Failed due to unknown reason.
+
+LE connection invalid arguments
+===============================
+	errno:	EINVAL
+
+	Failed due to invalid arguments.
+
+LE connection not powered
+=========================
+	errno:	EHOSTUNREACH
+
+	Failed due to adapter not powered.
+
+LE connection not supported
+===========================
+	errno:	EOPNOTSUPP, EPROTONOSUPPORT
+
+	Failed due to unsupported state transition of L2CAP channel or other
+	features (e.g. LE features) either by the local host or the remote.
+
+LE connection already connected
+===============================
+	errno: EALREADY, EISCONN
+
+	Either the BT IO is already connected or LE link connection in place.
+
+LE connection bad socket
+========================
+	errno: EBADFD
+
+	Failed due to the socket is in bad state.
+
+LE connection memory allocation
+===============================
+	errno: ENOMEM
+
+	Failed to allocate memory in either host stack or controller.
+
+LE connection busy
+==================
+	errno:	EBUSY
+
+	Failed due to other ongoing operations, such as pairing, connecting,
+	busy L2CAP channel or the operation disallowed by the controller.
+
+LE connection refused
+=====================
+	errno:	ECONNREFUSED
+
+	Failed due to that LE is not enabled or the attempt is refused by the
+	remote device due to limited resource, security reason or unacceptable
+	address type.
+
+LE connection create socket
+===========================
+	errno:	EIO
+
+	Failed to create or connect to BT IO socket. This can also indicate
+	hardware failure in the controller.
+
+LE connection timeout
+=====================
+	errno:	ETIMEDOUT
+
+	Failed due to connection timeout
+
+LE connection concurrent connection limit
+=========================================
+	errno:	EMLINK
+
+	Failed due to reaching the synchronous connection limit to a device.
+
+LE connection abort by remote
+=============================
+	errno:	ECONNRESET
+
+	Aborted by the remote device due to limited resource or power off.
+
+LE connection abort by local
+============================
+	errno:	ECONNABORTED
+
+	Aborted by the local host.
+
+LE connection link layer protocol error
+=======================================
+	errno:	EPROTO
+
+	Failed due to link layer protocol error.
+
