14 The explain_statfs_or_die function is used to call the statfs(2) system
15 call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
16 from the explain_statfs(3) function, and then the process terminates by
17 calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
18
19 The explain_statfs_on_error function is used to call the statfs(2) sys‐
20 tem call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
21 from the explain_statfs(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

32 exits, it does not return.

34 The explain_statfs_on_error function always returns the value return by
35 the wrapped statfs(2) system call.

38 The explain_statfs_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion
39 similar to the following example:
40 explain_statfs_or_die(pathname, data);
