NAME¶
explain_getrlimit_or_die - get resource limits and report errors
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <libexplain/getrlimit.h>
void explain_getrlimit_or_die(int resource, struct rlimit *rlim);
DESCRIPTION¶
The
explain_getrlimit_or_die function is used to call the
getrlimit(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
stderr, obtained from
explain_getrlimit(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:
explain_getrlimit_or_die(resource, rlim);
- resource
- The resource, exactly as to be passed to the
getrlimit(2) system call.
- rlim
- The rlim, exactly as to be passed to the
getrlimit(2) system call.
- Returns:
- This function only returns on success. On failure, prints
an explanation and exits.
