explain_fchmod_or_die(3)    Library Functions Manual	explain_fchmod_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_fchmod_or_die  -  change permissions of an open file and report er-
     rors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/fchmod.h>
     void explain_fchmod_or_die(int fildes, mode_t mode);
     int explain_fchmod_on_error(int fildes, mode_t mode);

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

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

     fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fchmod(2) system call.

     mode    The mode, exactly as to be passed to the fchmod(2) system call.

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

     The explain_fchmod_on_error function always returns the value return by the
     wrapped fchmod(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_fchmod_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion sim-
     ilar to the following example:
	    explain_fchmod_or_die(fildes, mode);
