NAME
     explain_socket_or_die - create an endpoint and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/socket.h>
     void explain_socket_or_die(int domain, int type, int protocol);

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

     example:
	    explain_socket_or_die(domain, type, protocol);

     protocol

	     planation and exits.
