explain_na...eep_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_na...eep_or_die(3)

NAME
       explain_nanosleep_or_die	- high-resolution sleep	and report errors

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<libexplain/nanosleep.h>
       void  explain_nanosleep_or_die(const struct timespec *req, struct time-
       spec *rem);
       int explain_nanosleep_on_error(const struct timespec *req, struct time-
       spec *rem);

DESCRIPTION
       The explain_nanosleep_or_die function is	used to	call the  nanosleep(2)
       system  call.  On failure an explanation	will be	printed	to stderr, ob-
       tained from the explain_nanosleep(3) function,  and  then  the  process
       terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The   explain_nanosleep_on_error	  function   is	  used	 to  call  the
       nanosleep(2) system call. On failure an explanation will	be printed  to
       stderr,	obtained from the explain_nanosleep(3) function, but still re-
       turns to	the caller.

       req     The req,	exactly	as to be passed	 to  the  nanosleep(2)	system
	       call.

       rem     The  rem,  exactly  as  to be passed to the nanosleep(2)	system
	       call.

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

       The explain_nanosleep_on_error function always returns the value	return
       by the wrapped nanosleep(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
       The explain_nanosleep_or_die function is	intended to be used in a fash-
       ion similar to the following example:
	      explain_nanosleep_or_die(req, rem);

SEE ALSO
       nanosleep(2)
	       high-resolution sleep

       explain_nanosleep(3)
	       explain nanosleep(2) errors

       exit(2) terminate the calling process
