explain_wait3_or_die(3)     Library Functions Manual	 explain_wait3_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_wait3_or_die - wait for process to change state and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/wait3.h>
     void explain_wait3_or_die(int *status, int options, struct rusage *rusage);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_wait3_or_die function is used to call the wait3(2) system call.
     On  failure  an  explanation  will  be printed to stderr, obtained from ex-
     plain_wait3(3), and then the process terminates by calling  exit(EXIT_FAIL-
     URE).

     This  function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following
     example:
	    int pid = explain_wait3_or_die(status, options, rusage);

     status  The status, exactly as to be passed to the wait3(2) system call.

     options
	     The options, exactly as to be passed to the wait3(2) system call.

     rusage  The rusage, exactly as to be passed to the wait3(2) system call.

     Returns:
	     This function only returns on success.  On failure, prints  an  ex-
	     planation and exits.
