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