DESCRIPTION

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