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, obtained from
     the explain_asprintf(3) function, and then the process terminates by  call-
     ing exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_asprintf_on_error function is used to call the asprintf(3) sys-
     tem  call.  On  failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
     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 ex-
     its, 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 fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    int result = explain_asprintf_or_die();
