explain_lchownat_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_lchownat_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_lchownat_or_die - Execute lchownat(2) and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/lchownat.h>
     void explain_lchownat_or_die(int fildes, const char *pathname, int uid, int
     gid);
     int  explain_lchownat_on_error(int  fildes,  const char *pathname, int uid,
     int gid);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_lchownat_or_die function is used to call the lchownat(2) system
     call. On failure an explanation will be printed to  stderr,  obtained  from
     the  explain_lchownat(3) function, and then the process terminates by call-
     ing exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_lchownat_on_error function is used to call the lchownat(2) sys-
     tem call. On failure an explanation will be  printed  to  stderr,	obtained
     from the explain_lchownat(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the lchownat(2) system call.

     pathname
	     The  pathname,  exactly  as  to be passed to the lchownat(2) system
	     call.

     uid     The uid, exactly as to be passed to the lchownat(2) system call.

     gid     The gid, exactly as to be passed to the lchownat(2) system call.

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

     The explain_lchownat_on_error function always returns the value  return  by
     the wrapped lchownat(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The  explain_lchownat_or_die  function  is intended to be used in a fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_lchownat_or_die(fildes, pathname, uid, gid);
