+void socket_wrapper_indicate_no_inet_fd(int fd);

+- This allows socket_wrapper aware applications to
+  indicate that the given fd does not belong to
+  an inet socket.
+
+- socket_wrapper may not be able to intercept the __close_nocancel()
+  syscall made from within libc.so. As result it's possible
+  that the in memory meta date of socket_wrapper references
+  stale file descriptors, which are already reused for unrelated
+  kernel objects, e.g. files, directories, ...
+
+- Socket wrapper already intercepts a lot of unrelated
+  functions like eventfd(), timerfd_create(), ... in order
+  to remove stale meta data for the returned fd, but
+  it will never be able to handle all possible syscalls.
+
+- socket_wrapper_indicate_no_inet_fd() gives applications a way
+  to do the same, explicitly without waiting for new syscalls to
+  be added to libsocket_wrapper.so.
+
+- This is a no-op if socket_wrapper is not in use or
+  if the there is no in memory meta data for the given fd.
