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) sys-
       tem 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,  ob-
       tained  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  adj-
       time(2) for more	information. On	failure, prints	an explanation and ex-
       its, 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
