12 int explain_getpriority_on_error(int which, int who);

15 The explain_getpriority_or_die function is used to call the getprior‐
16 ity(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
17 stderr, obtained from the explain_getpriority(3) function, and then the
18 process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
19
20 The explain_getpriority_on_error function is used to call the getprior‐
21 ity(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
22 stderr, obtained from the explain_getpriority(3) function, but still
23 returns to the caller.
24
25 which The which, exactly as to be passed to the getpriority(2) system
26 call.
27
28 who The who, exactly as to be passed to the getpriority(2) system
29 call.
30
32 The explain_getpriority_or_die function only returns on success, see
33 getpriority(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation
34 and exits, it does not return.
35
36 The explain_getpriority_on_error function always returns the value
37 return by the wrapped getpriority(2) system call.
38
40 The explain_getpriority_or_die function is intended to be used in a
41 fashion similar to the following example:
42 int result = explain_getpriority_or_die(which, who);
43
45 getpriority(2)
46 get program scheduling priority
47
48 explain_getpriority(3)
49 explain getpriority(2) errors
50
51 exit(2) terminate the calling process
