explain_getresgid_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_getresgid_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_getresgid_or_die - get r/e/s group IDs and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/getresgid.h>
     void explain_getresgid_or_die(gid_t *rgid, gid_t *egid, gid_t *sgid);
     int explain_getresgid_on_error(gid_t *rgid, gid_t *egid, gid_t *sgid);

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

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

     rgid    The rgid, exactly as to be passed to the getresgid(2) system call.

     egid    The egid, exactly as to be passed to the getresgid(2) system call.

     sgid    The sgid, exactly as to be passed to the getresgid(2) system call.

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

     The  explain_getresgid_on_error function always returns the value return by
     the wrapped getresgid(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_getresgid_or_die function is intended to be used in  a  fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_getresgid_or_die(rgid, egid, sgid);
