explain_mount_or_die(3)     Library Functions Manual	 explain_mount_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_mount_or_die - mount file system and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/mount.h>
     void  explain_mount_or_die(const  char  *source,  const char *target, const
     char *file_systems_type, unsigned long flags, const void *data);
     int explain_mount_on_error(const char *source, const  char  *target,  const
     char *file_systems_type, unsigned long flags, const void *data);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_mount_or_die function is used to call the mount(2) system call.
     On  failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the ex-
     plain_mount(3)  function,	and  then  the	process  terminates  by  calling
     exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The  explain_mount_on_error  function  is	used to call the mount(2) system
     call. On failure an explanation will be printed to  stderr,  obtained  from
     the explain_mount(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     source  The source, exactly as to be passed to the mount(2) system call.

     target  The target, exactly as to be passed to the mount(2) system call.

     file_systems_type
	     The file_systems_type, exactly as to be passed to the mount(2) sys-
	     tem call.

     flags   The flags, exactly as to be passed to the mount(2) system call.

     data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the mount(2) system call.

RETURN VALUE
     The explain_mount_or_die function only returns on success, see mount(2) for
     more  information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not
     return.

     The explain_mount_on_error function always returns the value return by  the
     wrapped mount(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_mount_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion simi-
     lar to the following example:
	    explain_mount_or_die(source, target, file_systems_type, flags, data);

SEE ALSO
     mount(2)
	     mount file system

     explain_mount(3)
	     explain mount(2) errors

     exit(2)
