     rors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/iconv_open.h>
     iconv_t explain_iconv_open_or_die(const char  *tocode,  const  char  *from-
     code);
     iconv_t  explain_iconv_open_on_error(const  char *tocode, const char *from-
     code);

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

     The explain_iconv_open_on_error function is used to call the  iconv_open(3)
     system  call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
     from the explain_iconv_open(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     tocode  The tocode, exactly as to be passed  to  the  iconv_open(3)  system
	     call.

     fromcode
	     The  fromcode,  exactly as to be passed to the iconv_open(3) system
	     call.

     iconv_open(3)  for  more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
     exits, it does not return.

     The explain_iconv_open_on_error function always returns the value return by
     the wrapped iconv_open(3) system call.

     similar to the following example:
