explain_ge...fday_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_ge...fday_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_gettimeofday_or_die - get time and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/gettimeofday.h>
     void explain_gettimeofday_or_die(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz);

DESCRIPTION
     The  explain_gettimeofday_or_die  function  is  used to call the gettimeof-
     day(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed  to  stderr,
     obtained  from  explain_gettimeofday(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_gettimeofday_or_die(tv, tz);

     tv      The tv, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system call.

     tz      The tz, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system call.

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

SEE ALSO
     gettimeofday(2)
	     get time

     explain_gettimeofday(3)
	     explain gettimeofday(2) errors

     exit(2)
	     terminate the calling process
