#include <libexplain/lstat.h>void explain_lstat_or_die(const char *pathname, struct stat *buf);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_lstat_or_die function is used to call the lstat(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_lstat(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_lstat_or_die(pathname , buf);
- pathname
- The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the lstat(2) system call.
- buf
- The buf, exactly as to be passed to the lstat(2) system call.
- Returns:
- This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
