explain_ustat_or_die(3)     Library Functions Manual	 explain_ustat_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_ustat_or_die - get file system statistics and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/ustat.h>
     void explain_ustat_or_die(dev_t dev, struct ustat *ubuf);
     int explain_ustat_on_error(dev_t dev, struct ustat *ubuf);

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

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

     dev     The dev, exactly as to be passed to the ustat(2) system call.

     ubuf    The ubuf, exactly as to be passed to the ustat(2) system call.

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

     The explain_ustat_on_error function always returns the value return by  the
     wrapped ustat(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_ustat_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion simi-
     lar to the following example:
	    explain_ustat_or_die(dev, ubuf);
