DESCRIPTION

14       The  explain_setdomainname_or_die  function  is used to call the setdo‐
15       mainname(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be  printed  to
16       stderr,  obtained  from the explain_setdomainname(3) function, and then
17       the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
18
19       The explain_setdomainname_on_error function is used to call the  setdo‐
20       mainname(2)  system  call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
21       stderr, obtained from the explain_setdomainname(3) function, but  still
22       returns to the caller.
23
24       data    The  data, exactly as to be passed to the setdomainname(2) sys‐
25               tem call.

29               system call.
