explain_statvfs_or_die(3)   Library Functions Manual   explain_statvfs_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_statvfs_or_die - get file system statistics and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/statvfs.h>
     void explain_statvfs_or_die(const char *pathname, struct statvfs *data);
     int explain_statvfs_on_error(const char *pathname, struct statvfs *data);

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

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

     pathname
	     The pathname, exactly as to be  passed  to  the  statvfs(2)  system
	     call.

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

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

     The explain_statvfs_on_error function always returns the  value  return  by
     the wrapped statvfs(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The  explain_statvfs_or_die  function  is	intended to be used in a fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_statvfs_or_die(pathname, data);
