explain_asprintf_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_asprintf_or_die(3)

NAME
       explain_asprintf_or_die - print to allocated string and report errors

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<libexplain/asprintf.h>
       int explain_asprintf_or_die(, ...);
       int explain_asprintf_on_error(, ...);

DESCRIPTION
       The  explain_asprintf_or_die  function  is used to call the asprintf(3)
       system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to  stderr,  ob-
       tained from the explain_asprintf(3) function, and then the process ter-
       minates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The  explain_asprintf_on_error function is used to call the asprintf(3)
       system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to  stderr,  ob-
       tained  from the	explain_asprintf(3) function, but still	returns	to the
       caller.

RETURN VALUE
       The explain_asprintf_or_die function only returns on success,  see  as-
       printf(3)  for  more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
       exits, it does not return.

       The explain_asprintf_on_error function always returns the value	return
       by the wrapped asprintf(3) system call.

EXAMPLE
       The  explain_asprintf_or_die function is	intended to be used in a fash-
       ion similar to the following example:
	      int result = explain_asprintf_or_die();

SEE ALSO
       asprintf(3)
	       print to	allocated string

       explain_asprintf(3)
	       explain asprintf(3) errors

       exit(2) terminate the calling process
