Description Jorge González 2011-11-20 09:12:19 UTC
Hi,

I would need context for the following string:

#: ../gio/gnetworkmonitornetlink.c:126
msgid "Could not wrap netlink socket: "

What is the meaning of "wrap" the socket here?

Thanks.

What's meant is that creating a GSocket object with the netlink fd failed. The GSocket object would 'wrap' the netlink socket.

I'm thinking I should just rewrite those error messages to be less geeky though. "Failed to create network monitor", etc.
