On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, ob- tained from the explain_vfprintf(3) function, and then the process ter- minates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE). The explain_vfprintf_on_error function is used to call the vfprintf(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, ob- tained from the explain_vfprintf(3) function, but still returns to the caller. fp The fp, exactly as to be passed to the vfprintf(3) system call. format The format, exactly as to be passed to the vfprintf(3) system call. ap The ap, exactly as to be passed to the vfprintf(3) system call. RETURN VALUE The explain_vfprintf_or_die function only returns on success, see vf- printf(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return. The explain_vfprintf_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped vfprintf(3) system call.
