#include <libexplain/fstat.h>void explain_fstat_or_die(int fildes, struct stat *buf);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_fstat_or_die function is used to call the fstat(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_fstat(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_fstat_or_die(fildes, buf);
- fildes
- The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fstat(2) system call.
- buf
- The buf, exactly as to be passed to the fstat(2) system call.
- Returns:
- This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
