explain_fpathconf_or_die - get file configuration and report errors
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <libexplain/fpathconf.h>
long explain_fpathconf_or_die(int fildes, int name);
DESCRIPTION¶
The
explain_fpathconf_or_die function is used to call the
fpathconf(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
stderr, obtained from
explain_fpathconf(3), and then the process
terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following
example:
long result = explain_fpathconf_or_die(fildes, name);
- fildes
- The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the
fpathconf(3) system call.
- name
- The name, exactly as to be passed to the
fpathconf(3) system call.
- Returns:
- This function only returns on success, see
fpathconf(3) for more information. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
