On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_setsid(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE). The explain_setsid_on_error function is used to call the setsid(2) sys- tem call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_setsid(3) function, but still returns to the caller. RETURN VALUE The explain_setsid_or_die function only returns on success, see set- sid(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and ex- its, it does not return. The explain_setsid_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped setsid(2) system call.
