void explain_fsync_or_die(int fildes);
int explain_fsync_on_error(int fildes);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_fsync_or_die function is used to call the
fsync(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
stderr, obtained from the explain_fsync(3) function, and
then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_fsync_on_error function is used to call the
fsync(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
stderr, obtained from the explain_fsync(3) function, but
still returns to the caller.
fildes
The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fsync(2) system call.
RETURN VALUE
The explain_fsync_or_die function only returns on success, see
fsync(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation
and exits, it does not return.
The explain_fsync_on_error function always returns the value return
by the wrapped fsync(2) system call.
EXAMPLE
The explain_fsync_or_die function is intended to be used in a
fashion similar to the following example:
