void explain_raise_or_die(int sig);

then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_raise_on_error function is used to call the
raise(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
stderr, obtained from the explain_raise(3) function, but
still returns to the caller.
