DESCRIPTION

15       The explain_dirfd_or_die function is used to call the  dirfd(3)  system
16       call.  On  failure  an  explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
17       from the explain_dirfd(3) function, and then the process terminates  by
18       calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
19
20       The explain_dirfd_on_error function is used to call the dirfd(3) system
21       call. On failure an explanation will be  printed  to  stderr,  obtained
22       from the explain_dirfd(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

24       dir     The dir, exactly as to be passed to the dirfd(3) system call.

29       does not return.

31       The  explain_dirfd_on_error function always returns the value return by
32       the wrapped dirfd(3) system call.
