explain_g...day_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_g...day_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  fol-
       lowing 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
	       explanation and exits.
