I am using libmnl to add entries to an IP set. (Code here[1] if anyone is interested.) I've got everything working, but I haven't yet found a way to "decode" any protocol-specific errors that may be returned, because the set is not of the correct type, for example. I see that libipset has an ipset_errcode() function but it looks to be designed for use only when libipset is being used for the actual netlink communication. (I didn't do that in this case, because libipset looks to be targeted only on parsing and executing commands that are passed to the ipset command. It didn't make any sense to me to create a command string in a buffer just so libipset could parse it back into information that is already known.) Is there any way that I can give users of my program something more helpful than "unknown error XXXX"? Thanks!
