NAME

6       explain_writev_or_die  -  write  data  from multiple buffers and report
7       errors
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <libexplain/writev.h>
11       ssize_t explain_writev_or_die(int fildes, const struct iovec *data, int
12       data_size);
13       ssize_t  explain_writev_on_error(int  fildes, const struct iovec *data,
14       int data_size);
15

DESCRIPTION

17       The explain_writev_or_die function is used to call the writev(2) system
18       call.  On  failure  an  explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
19       from the explain_writev(3) function, and then the process terminates by
20       calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
21
22       The explain_writev_on_error function is used to call the writev(2) sys‐
23       tem call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
24       from the explain_writev(3) function, but still returns to the caller.
25
26       fildes  The  fildes,  exactly  as  to be passed to the writev(2) system
27               call.
28
29       data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the writev(2) system call.
30
31       data_size
32               The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the writev(2)  system
33               call.
34

RETURN VALUE

36       The   explain_writev_or_die  function  only  returns  on  success,  see
37       writev(2) for more information. On failure, prints an  explanation  and
38       exits, it does not return.
39
40       The explain_writev_on_error function always returns the value return by
41       the wrapped writev(2) system call.
42

EXAMPLE

44       The explain_writev_or_die function is intended to be used in a  fashion
45       similar to the following example:
46              ssize_t result = explain_writev_or_die(fildes, data, data_size);
