Footnotes
  1. British Sergeant.
gollark: Still, though, I don't think having all this stuff as read/writeable "files" when the semantics are different is good.
gollark: I basically just want to receive packets from ff02::aeae port 44718 on all interfaces and send them too, and I can't tell what operations that maps to.
gollark: It does seem like the primitives are very irritating to make this multicasting thing work properly with.
gollark: The standard library ones are nicer, except the particular way they're structured appears to not actually work for this.
gollark: The particularly annoying part is that the lower-level stuff seems to error in incomprehensible and weird ways.
