15 The explain_ungetc_or_die function is used to call the ungetc(3) system
16 call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
17 from the explain_ungetc(3) function, and then the process terminates by
18 calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
19
20 The explain_ungetc_on_error function is used to call the ungetc(3) sys‐
21 tem call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
22 from the explain_ungetc(3) function, but still returns to the caller.
23
24 c The c, exactly as to be passed to the ungetc(3) system call.
25
26 fp The fp, exactly as to be passed to the ungetc(3) system call.

29 The explain_ungetc_or_die function only returns on success, see
30 ungetc(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
31 exits, it does not return.
32
33 The explain_ungetc_on_error function always returns the value return by
34 the wrapped ungetc(3) system call.
35
37 The explain_ungetc_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion
38 similar to the following example:
39 explain_ungetc_or_die(c, fp);
40
42 ungetc(3)
43 push a character back to a stream
