explain_getgroups_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_getgroups_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_getgroups_or_die - get supplementary group IDs and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/getgroups.h>
     void explain_getgroups_or_die(int data_size, gid_t *data);
     int explain_getgroups_on_error(int data_size, gid_t *data);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_getgroups_or_die function is used to call the getgroups(2) sys-
     tem  call.  On  failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
     from the explain_getgroups(3) function, and then the process terminates  by
     calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

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

     data_size
	     The  data_size,  exactly as to be passed to the getgroups(2) system
	     call.

     data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the getgroups(2) system call.

RETURN VALUE
     The explain_getgroups_or_die function only returns  on  success,  see  get-
     groups(2)	for  more information. On failure, prints an explanation and ex-
     its, it does not return.

     The explain_getgroups_on_error function always returns the value return  by
     the wrapped getgroups(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The  explain_getgroups_or_die  function is intended to be used in a fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_getgroups_or_die(data_size, data);
