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 fol-
       lowing 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
	       explanation and exits.
