SYNOPSIS

9       #include <libexplain/ftruncate.h>
10       void explain_ftruncate_or_die(int fildes, long long length);
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The  explain_ftruncate_or_die function is used to call the ftruncate(2)
14       system call.  On failure an explanation  will  be  printed  to  stderr,
15       obtained  from explain_ftruncate(3), and then the process terminates by
16       calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
17
18       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to  the  fol‐
19       lowing example:
20              explain_ftruncate_or_die(fildes, length);
21
22       fildes  The  fildes, exactly as to be passed to the ftruncate(2) system
23               call.
24
25       length  The length, exactly as to be passed to the ftruncate(2)  system
26               call.
27
28       Returns:
29               This  function  only returns on success.  On failure, prints an
30               explanation and exits.
