[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/5] vnc: add a more descriptive error message

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

From: Amos Kong <address@hidden>

Currently qemu outputs some low-level error in qemu-sockets.c
when failed to start vnc server.
eg. 'getaddrinfo(127.0.0.1,5902): Name or service not known'

Some libvirt users could not know what's happened with this
unclear error message. This patch added a more descriptive
error message.
