explain_execve_or_die(3)    Library Functions Manual	explain_execve_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_execve_or_die - execute program and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/execve.h>
     void  explain_execve_or_die(const	char *pathname, const char *const *argv,
     const char *const *envp);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_execve_or_die function is used to  call  the  execve(2)  system
     call.   On  failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     explain_execve(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_execve_or_die(pathname, argv, envp);

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

     argv    The argv, exactly as to be passed to the execve(2) system call.

     envp    The envp, exactly as to be passed to the execve(2) system call.

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

SEE ALSO

	     execute program
