explain_ac...ext_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_ac...ext_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_acl_to_text_or_die - convert an ACL to text and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/acl_to_text.h>
     char *explain_acl_to_text_or_die(acl_t acl, ssize_t *len_p);
     char *explain_acl_to_text_on_error(acl_t acl, ssize_t *len_p);

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

     The   explain_acl_to_text_on_error   function   is   used	 to   call   the
     acl_to_text(3)  system  call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to
     stderr, obtained from the explain_acl_to_text(3) function,  but  still  re-
     turns to the caller.

     acl     The acl, exactly as to be passed to the acl_to_text(3) system call.

     len_p   The  len_p,  exactly  as  to be passed to the acl_to_text(3) system
	     call.

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

     The explain_acl_to_text_on_error function always returns the  value  return
     by the wrapped acl_to_text(3) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_acl_to_text_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    char *result = explain_acl_to_text_or_die(acl, len_p);
