SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/fchown.h>
     void explain_fchown_or_die(int fildes, int owner, int group);

DESCRIPTION
     The  explain_fchown_or_die  function  is  used to call the fchown(2) system
     call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,  obtained  from
     explain_fchown(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_fchown_or_die(fildes, owner, group);

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

     owner   The owner, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system call.

     group   The group, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system call.

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