.SH NAME
explain_getresgid_or_die \- get r/e/s group IDs and report errors
.if require_index \{
    "get real, effective and saved group IDs and report errors"
.\}
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/getresgid.h>
.sp 0.3
void explain_getresgid_or_die(gid_t *rgid, gid_t *egid, gid_t *sgid);
.br
int explain_getresgid_on_error(gid_t *rgid, gid_t *egid, gid_t *sgid);
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \f[B]explain_getresgid_or_die\fP function is used to call the
\f[I]getresgid\fP(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed
to \f[I]stderr\fP, obtained from the \f[I]explain_getresgid\fP(3) function,
and then the process terminates by calling \f[CW]exit(EXIT_FAILURE)\fP.
.PP
The \f[B]explain_getresgid_on_error\fP function is used to call the
\f[I]getresgid\fP(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed
to \f[I]stderr\fP, obtained from the \f[I]explain_getresgid\fP(3) function,
but still returns to the caller.
.TP 8n
\f[I]rgid\fP
The rgid, exactly as to be passed to the \f[I]getresgid\fP(2) system call.
.TP 8n
\f[I]egid\fP
The egid, exactly as to be passed to the \f[I]getresgid\fP(2) system call.
.TP 8n
\f[I]sgid\fP
The sgid, exactly as to be passed to the \f[I]getresgid\fP(2) system call.

.SH RETURN VALUE
The \f[B]explain_getresgid_or_die\fP function only returns on success, see
\f[I]getresgid\fP(2) for more information. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits, it does not return.
.PP
The \f[B]explain_getresgid_on_error\fP function always returns the value
return by the wrapped \f[I]getresgid\fP(2) system call.
.\" ----------------------------------------------------
.SH EXAMPLE
The \f[B]explain_getresgid_or_die\fP function is intended to be used in a
