explain_getresuid_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_getresuid_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_getresuid_or_die - get r/e/s user IDs and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/getresuid.h>
     void explain_getresuid_or_die(uid_t *ruid, uid_t *euid, uid_t *suid);
     int explain_getresuid_on_error(uid_t *ruid, uid_t *euid, uid_t *suid);

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

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

     ruid    The ruid, exactly as to be passed to the getresuid(2) system call.

     euid    The euid, exactly as to be passed to the getresuid(2) system call.

     suid    The suid, exactly as to be passed to the getresuid(2) system call.

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

     The  explain_getresuid_on_error function always returns the value return by
     the wrapped getresuid(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_getresuid_or_die function is intended to be used in  a  fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_getresuid_or_die(ruid, euid, suid);
