explain_select_or_die(3)    Library Functions Manual	explain_select_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_select_or_die - blah blah and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/select.h>
     void  explain_select_or_die(int  nfds,  fd_set  *readfds, fd_set *writefds,
     fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_select_or_die function is used to  call  the  select(2)  system
     call.   On  failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     explain_select(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_select_or_die(nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout);

     nfds    The nfds, exactly as to be passed to the select(2) system call.

     readfds
	     The readfds, exactly as to be passed to the select(2) system call.

     exceptfds
	     The exceptfds, exactly as to be  passed  to  the  select(2)  system
	     call.

     timeout
	     The timeout, exactly as to be passed to the select(2) system call.

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