explain_fwrite_or_die(3)    Library Functions Manual	explain_fwrite_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_fwrite_or_die - binary stream output and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/fwrite.h>
     size_t  explain_fwrite_or_die(const  void	*ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb,
     FILE *fp);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_fwrite_or_die function is used to  call  the  fwrite(3)  system
     call.   On  failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     explain_fwrite(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:
	    size_t result = explain_fwrite_or_die(ptr, size, nmemb, fp);

     ptr     The ptr, exactly as to be passed to the fwrite(3) system call.

     size    The size, exactly as to be passed to the fwrite(3) system call.

     nmemb   The nmemb, exactly as to be passed to the fwrite(3) system call.

     fp      The fp, exactly as to be passed to the fwrite(3) system call.

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