NAME
explain_symlink_or_die - make a new name for a file and report errorsSYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/symlink.h>void explain_symlink_or_die(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_symlink_or_die function is used to call the symlink(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_symlink(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_symlink_or_die(oldpath, newpath);
- oldpath
- The oldpath, exactly as to be passed to the symlink(2) system call.
- newpath
- The newpath, exactly as to be passed to the symlink(2) system call.
- Returns:
- This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
