explain_write_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_write_or_die(3) NAME explain_write_or_die - write to a file descriptor and report errors SYNOPSIS #include <libexplain/write.h> void explain_write_or_die(int fildes, const void *data, long data_size); DESCRIPTION The explain_write_or_die function is used to call the write(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from ex- plain_write(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: ssize_t result = explain_write_or_die(fildes, data, data_size); fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the write(2) system call. data The data, exactly as to be passed to the write(2) system call. data_size The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the write(2) system call. Returns: This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an ex- planation and exits.
