DESCRIPTION
The explain_fdopendir_or_die function is used to call the
fdopendir(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed
to stderr, obtained from the explain_fdopendir(3) function,
and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_fdopendir_on_error function is used to call the
fdopendir(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed
to stderr, obtained from the explain_fdopendir(3) function,
but still returns to the caller.
fildes
The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fdopendir(3) system
call.
RETURN VALUE
The explain_fdopendir_or_die function only returns on success, see
fdopendir(3) for more information. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits, it does not return.
The explain_fdopendir_on_error function always returns the value
return by the wrapped fdopendir(3) system call.
