explain_tmpfile_or_die(3)   Library Functions Manual   explain_tmpfile_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_tmpfile_or_die - create a temporary file and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/tmpfile.h>
     FILE *explain_tmpfile_or_die(void);
     FILE *explain_tmpfile_on_error(void);

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

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

RETURN VALUE
     The explain_tmpfile_or_die function only returns on success, see tmpfile(3)
     for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it  does
     not return.

     The  explain_tmpfile_on_error  function  always returns the value return by
     the wrapped tmpfile(3) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_tmpfile_or_die function is intended to be  used  in  a  fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    FILE *result = explain_tmpfile_or_die();
