long explain_fpathconf_or_die(int fildes, int name);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_fpathconf_or_die function
is used to call the fpathconf(3) system
call. On failure an explanation will be
printed to stderr,
obtained from explain_fpathconf(3),
and then the process terminates
by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
This function is intended to be used in a fashion
similar to the following example:
long result = explain_fpathconf_or_die(fildes, name);
fildes
The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fpathconf(3) system call.
name
The name, exactly as to be passed to the fpathconf(3) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success, see fpathconf(3) for more
information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
