explain_fchownat_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_fchownat_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_fchownat_or_die  -  change ownership of a file relative to a direc-
     tory     and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/fchownat.h>
     void explain_fchownat_or_die(int dirfd, const char  *pathname,  int  owner,
     int group, int flags);
     int  explain_fchownat_on_error(int  dirfd, const char *pathname, int owner,
     int group, int flags);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_fchownat_or_die function is used to call the fchownat(2) system
     call. On failure an explanation will be printed to  stderr,  obtained  from
     the  explain_fchownat(3) function, and then the process terminates by call-
     ing exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_fchownat_on_error function is used to call the fchownat(2) sys-
     tem call. On failure an explanation will be  printed  to  stderr,	obtained
     from the explain_fchownat(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     dirfd   The dirfd, exactly as to be passed to the fchownat(2) system call.

     pathname
	     The  pathname,  exactly  as  to be passed to the fchownat(2) system
	     call.

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

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

     flags   The flags, exactly as to be passed to the fchownat(2) system call.

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

     The explain_fchownat_on_error function always returns the value  return  by
     the wrapped fchownat(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The  explain_fchownat_or_die  function  is intended to be used in a fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_fchownat_or_die(dirfd, pathname, owner, group, flags);

SEE ALSO
     fchownat(2)
	     change ownership of a file relative to a directory

     explain_fchownat(3)
	     explain fchownat(2) errors
