NAME
     explain_setbuf_or_die - set stream buffer and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/setbuf.h>
     void explain_setbuf_or_die(FILE *fp, char *data);
     void explain_setbuf_on_error(FILE *fp, char *data);

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

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

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

     data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the setbuf(3) system call.

     not return.

     The explain_setbuf_on_error function always returns the value return by the
     wrapped setbuf(3) system call.

     The explain_setbuf_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion sim-
     ilar to the following example:
	    explain_setbuf_or_die(fp, data);
