explain_adjtime_or_die(3)   Library Functions Manual   explain_adjtime_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_adjtime_or_die - smoothly tune kernel clock and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/adjtime.h>
     void  explain_adjtime_or_die(const  struct  timeval  *delta, struct timeval
     *olddelta);
     int explain_adjtime_on_error(const struct timeval	*delta,  struct  timeval
     *olddelta);

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

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

     delta   The delta, exactly as to be passed to the adjtime(2) system call.

     olddelta
	     The olddelta, exactly as to be  passed  to  the  adjtime(2)  system
	     call.

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

     The explain_adjtime_on_error function always returns the  value  return  by
     the wrapped adjtime(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The  explain_adjtime_or_die  function  is	intended to be used in a fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_adjtime_or_die(delta, olddelta);

SEE ALSO
     adjtime(2)
	     smoothly tune kernel clock

     explain_adjtime(3)
	     explain adjtime(2) errors

     exit(2)
	     terminate the calling process
