explain_connect_or_die(3)   Library Functions Manual   explain_connect_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_connect_or_die  -	initiate a connection on a socket and report er-
     rors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/connect.h>
     void explain_connect_or_die(int fildes, const struct  sockaddr  *serv_addr,
     int serv_addr_size);

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

     This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the  following
     example:
	    explain_connect_or_die(fildes, serv_addr, serv_addr_size);

	     tem call.

	     planation and exits.
