16 The explain_statvfs_or_die function is used to call the statvfs(2) sys‐
17 tem call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
18 from the explain_statvfs(3) function, and then the process terminates
19 by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
20
21 The explain_statvfs_on_error function is used to call the statvfs(2)
22 system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
23 obtained from the explain_statvfs(3) function, but still returns to the
24 caller.

28 call.
29
30 data The data, exactly as to be passed to the statvfs(2) system
31 call.

34 The explain_statvfs_or_die function only returns on success, see
35 statvfs(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
36 exits, it does not return.
37
38 The explain_statvfs_on_error function always returns the value return
39 by the wrapped statvfs(2) system call.
40
42 The explain_statvfs_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion
43 similar to the following example:
44 explain_statvfs_or_die(pathname, data);
