netfilter buglog - Sep 2013 - [Bug 853] New: mnl_socket_open() doc lists incorrect return type

https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=853

           Summary: mnl_socket_open() doc lists incorrect return type
           Product: libmnl
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: libmnl

The documentation for the mnl_socket_open function states "On error, it
returns
-1 and errno is appropriately set [...]".

This is incorrect - it should state "On error, it returns NULL and errno is
appropriately set [...]".

Here's the relevant documentation:
