DESCRIPTION

13       The  explain_fstat_or_die  function is used to call the fstat(2) system
14       call.  On failure an explanation will be printed  to  stderr,  obtained
15       from  explain_fstat(3),  and  then  the  process  terminates by calling
16       exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

23               call.
