NAME

6       explain_fprintf_or_die - formatted output conversion and report errors
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <libexplain/fprintf.h>
10       int explain_fprintf_or_die(FILE *fp, const char *format, ...);
11       int explain_fprintf_on_error(FILE *fp, const char *format, ...);

DESCRIPTION

14       The explain_fprintf_or_die function is used to call the fprintf(3) sys‐
15       tem call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
16       from  the  explain_fprintf(3) function, and then the process terminates
17       by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
18
19       The explain_fprintf_on_error function is used to  call  the  fprintf(3)
20       system  call.  On  failure  an  explanation  will be printed to stderr,
21       obtained from the explain_fprintf(3) function, but still returns to the
22       caller.
23
24       fp      The fp, exactly as to be passed to the fprintf(3) system call.
25
26       format  The  format,  exactly  as to be passed to the fprintf(3) system
27               call.
28

RETURN VALUE

30       The  explain_fprintf_or_die  function  only  returns  on  success,  see
31       fprintf(3)  for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
32       exits, it does not return.
33
34       The explain_fprintf_on_error function always returns the  value  return
35       by the wrapped fprintf(3) system call.
36

EXAMPLE

38       The explain_fprintf_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion
39       similar to the following example:
40              int result = explain_fprintf_or_die(fp, format, ...);
