DESCRIPTION

13       The  explain_getc_or_die  function  is  used to call the getc(3) system
14       call.  On failure an explanation will be printed  to  stderr,  obtained
15       from  explain_getc(3),  and  then  the  process  terminates  by calling
16       exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
17
18       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to  the  fol‐
19       lowing example:
20              int c = explain_getc_or_die(fp);
21
22       fp      The fp, exactly as to be passed to the getc(3) system call.
23
24       Returns:
25               This  function  only  returns  on success, and returns the next
26               character or EOF at end of input.  On failure, prints an expla‐
27               nation and exits.
