explain_execve_or_die(3)   Library Functions Manual   explain_execve_or_die(3)

NAME
       explain_execve_or_die - execute program and report errors

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<libexplain/execve.h>
       void  explain_execve_or_die(const  char	*pathname,  const  char	*const
       *argv, const char *const	*envp);

DESCRIPTION
       The explain_execve_or_die function is used to call the execve(2)	system
       call.  On failure an explanation	will be	printed	 to  stderr,  obtained
       from  explain_execve(3),	 and  then  the	 process terminates by calling
       exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       This function is	intended to be used in a fashion similar to  the  fol-
       lowing example:
	      explain_execve_or_die(pathname, argv, envp);

       pathname
	       The  pathname,  exactly as to be	passed to the execve(2)	system
	       call.

       argv    The argv, exactly as to be passed to the	execve(2) system call.

       envp    The envp, exactly as to be passed to the	execve(2) system call.

       Returns:
	       This function only returns on success.  On failure,  prints  an
	       explanation and exits.

SEE ALSO
       execve(2)
	       execute program
