10 void explain_setvbuf_or_die(FILE *fp, char *data, int mode, size_t

13 size);

16 The explain_setvbuf_or_die function is used to call the setvbuf(3) sys‐
17 tem call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
18 from the explain_setvbuf(3) function, and then the process terminates
19 by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
20
21 The explain_setvbuf_on_error function is used to call the setvbuf(3)
22 system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
23 obtained from the explain_setvbuf(3) function, but still returns to the
24 caller.
25
26 fp The fp, exactly as to be passed to the setvbuf(3) system call.
27
28 data The data, exactly as to be passed to the setvbuf(3) system
29 call.
30
31 mode The mode, exactly as to be passed to the setvbuf(3) system
32 call.
33
34 size The size, exactly as to be passed to the setvbuf(3) system
35 call.
36
38 The explain_setvbuf_or_die function only returns on success, see
39 setvbuf(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
40 exits, it does not return.
41
42 The explain_setvbuf_on_error function always returns the value return
43 by the wrapped setvbuf(3) system call.
44
46 The explain_setvbuf_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion
47 similar to the following example:
48 explain_setvbuf_or_die(fp, data, mode, size);
