explain_mkostemp_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_mkostemp_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_mkostemp_or_die - create a unique temporary file and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/mkostemp.h>
     int explain_mkostemp_or_die(char *templat, int flags);
     int explain_mkostemp_on_error(char *templat, int flags);

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

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

     templat
	     The template, exactly as to be passed  to	the  mkostemp(3)  system
	     call.

     flags   The flags, exactly as to be passed to the mkostemp(3) system call.

RETURN VALUE
     The   explain_mkostemp_or_die   function	only  returns  on  success,  see
     mkostemp(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and ex-
     its, it does not return.

     The explain_mkostemp_on_error function always returns the value  return  by
     the wrapped mkostemp(3) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The  explain_mkostemp_or_die  function  is intended to be used in a fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    int result = explain_mkostemp_or_die(templat, flags);
