SYNOPSIS

10       #include <libexplain/mkostemp.h>

DESCRIPTION

15       The explain_mkostemp_or_die function is used to  call  the  mkostemp(3)
16       system  call.  On  failure  an  explanation  will be printed to stderr,
17       obtained from the explain_mkostemp(3) function, and  then  the  process
18       terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
19
20       The  explain_mkostemp_on_error function is used to call the mkostemp(3)
21       system call. On failure an  explanation  will  be  printed  to  stderr,
22       obtained  from  the  explain_mkostemp(3) function, but still returns to
23       the caller.
24
25       templat The template, exactly as to be passed to the mkostemp(3) system
26               call.
27
28       flags   The  flags,  exactly  as to be passed to the mkostemp(3) system
29               call.

RETURN VALUE

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