explain_execvp_or_die(3)    Library Functions Manual	explain_execvp_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_execvp_or_die - execute a file and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/execvp.h>
     void explain_execvp_or_die(const char *pathname, char *const *argv);

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

     This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the  following
     example:
	    explain_execvp_or_die(pathname, argv);

     pathname
	     The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the execvp(3) system call.

     argv    The argv, exactly as to be passed to the execvp(3) system call.

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

	     execute a file
