explain_endgrent_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_endgrent_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_endgrent_or_die - finish group file accesses and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/endgrent.h>
     void explain_endgrent_or_die(void);
     void explain_endgrent_on_error(void);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_endgrent_or_die function is used to call the endgrent(3) system
     call.  On	failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     the explain_endgrent(3) function, and then the process terminates by  call-
     ing exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_endgrent_on_error function is used to call the endgrent(3) sys-
     tem  call.  On  failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
     from the explain_endgrent(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

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

     The  explain_endgrent_on_error  function always returns the value return by
     the wrapped endgrent(3) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_endgrent_or_die function is intended to be used  in  a  fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_endgrent_or_die();
