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       template
26               The template, exactly as to be passed to the mkostemp(3) system
27               call.
28
29       flags   The  flags,  exactly  as to be passed to the mkostemp(3) system
30               call.

RETURN VALUE

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