SYNOPSIS

10       #include <libexplain/getaddrinfo.h>
11       void explain_getaddrinfo_or_die(const char *node, const char  *service,
12       const struct addrinfo *hints, struct addrinfo **res);

DESCRIPTION

15       The  explain_getaddrinfo_or_die  function  is  used  to call the getad‐
16       drinfo(3) system call.  On failure, an explanation will be  printed  to
17       stderr, obtained from explain_getaddrinfo(3), and then the process ter‐
18       minates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
19
20       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to  the  fol‐
21       lowing example:
22              explain_getaddrinfo_or_die(node, service, hints, res);
23
24       node    The  node, exactly as to be passed to the getaddrinfo(3) system
25               call.
26
27       service The service, exactly as to be passed to the getaddrinfo(3) sys‐
28               tem call.
29
30       hints   The hints, exactly as to be passed to the getaddrinfo(3) system
31               call.
32
33       res     The res, exactly as to be passed to the  getaddrinfo(3)  system
34               call.
35
36       Returns:
37               This  function  only returns on success.  On failure, prints an
38               explanation and exits.
