14 The explain_fstatfs_or_die function is used to call the fstatfs(2) sys‐
15 tem call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
16 from the explain_fstatfs(3) function, and then the process terminates
17 by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
18
19 The explain_fstatfs_on_error function is used to call the fstatfs(2)
20 system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
21 obtained from the explain_fstatfs(3) function, but still returns to the
22 caller.
23
24 fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fstatfs(2) system
25 call.
26
27 data The data, exactly as to be passed to the fstatfs(2) system
28 call.

31 The explain_fstatfs_or_die function only returns on success, see
32 fstatfs(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
33 exits, it does not return.
34
35 The explain_fstatfs_on_error function always returns the value return
36 by the wrapped fstatfs(2) system call.
37
39 The explain_fstatfs_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion
40 similar to the following example:
41 explain_fstatfs_or_die(fildes, data);
42
44 fstatfs(2)
45 get file system statistics
46
47 explain_fstatfs(3)
48 explain fstatfs(2) errors
