explain_openat_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_openat_or_die(3) NAME explain_openat_or_die - open a file relative to a dir fd and report errors SYNOPSIS #include <libexplain/openat.h> int explain_openat_or_die(int fildes, const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode); int explain_openat_on_error(int fildes, const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode); DESCRIPTION The explain_openat_or_die function is used to call the openat(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_openat(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE). The explain_openat_on_error function is used to call the openat(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_openat(3) function, but still returns to the caller. fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the openat(2) system call. pathname The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the openat(2) system call. flags The flags, exactly as to be passed to the openat(2) system call. mode The mode, exactly as to be passed to the openat(2) system call. RETURN VALUE The explain_openat_or_die function only returns on success, see openat(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return. The explain_openat_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped openat(2) system call.
