explain_creat_or_die(3)     Library Functions Manual	 explain_creat_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_creat_or_die - create and open a file creat and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/creat.h>
     void explain_creat_or_die(const char *pathname, int mode);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_creat_or_die function is used to call the creat(2) system call.
     On  failure  an  explanation  will  be printed to stderr, obtained from ex-
     plain_creat(3), and then the process terminates by calling  exit(EXIT_FAIL-
     URE).

     This  function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following
     example:
	    explain_creat_or_die(pathname, mode);

     pathname
	     The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the creat(2) system call.

     mode    The mode, exactly as to be passed to the creat(2) system call.

     Returns:
	     This function only returns on success.  On failure, prints  an  ex-
	     planation and exits.

SEE ALSO
     creat(2)
	     open and possibly create a file or device

     explain_creat(3)
	     explain creat(2) errors

     exit(2)
