Subject: This patch provides better error messages to the client when something
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=afb590e6dbc73ed9e1eb7015071cead52e3692d3;p=rrdtool.git

This patch provides better error messages to the client when something
goes wrong with the daemon.  When possible, the daemon error message is
passed through to rrd_set_error() on the client.  Prior to this patch,
most error conditions would result in "Internal error", which is not very
helpful. -- kevin brintnall
