DESCRIPTION

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.
22
23       pathname
24               The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the  statfs(2)  system
25               call.
26
27       data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the statfs(2) system call.

RETURN VALUE

30       The   explain_statfs_or_die  function  only  returns  on  success,  see
31       statfs(2) for more information. On failure, prints an  explanation  and
32       exits, it does not return.
33
34       The explain_statfs_on_error function always returns the value return by
35       the wrapped statfs(2) system call.
