NAME
explain_wait3_or_die - wait for process to change state and report errorsSYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/wait3.h>void explain_wait3_or_die(int *status, int options, struct rusage *rusage);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_wait3_or_die function is used to call the wait3(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_wait3(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:
int pid = explain_wait3_or_die(status, options, rusage);
- status
- The status, exactly as to be passed to the wait3(2) system call.
- options
- The options, exactly as to be passed to the wait3(2) system call.
- rusage
- The rusage, exactly as to be passed to the wait3(2) system call.
- Returns:
- This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
