explain_pathconf_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_pathconf_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_pathconf_or_die - get configuration values and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/pathconf.h>
     long explain_pathconf_or_die(const char *pathname, int name);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_pathconf_or_die function is used to call the pathconf(3) system
     call.   On  failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     explain_pathconf(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:
	    long value = explain_pathconf_or_die(pathname, name);
     Note that a -1 return value is still possible, meaning the system does  not
     have a limit for the requested resource.

     pathname
	     The  pathname,  exactly  as  to be passed to the pathconf(3) system
	     call.

     name    The name, exactly as to be passed to the pathconf(3) system call.

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

SEE ALSO
     pathconf(3)
	     get configuration values for files

     explain_pathconf(3)
	     explain pathconf(3) errors

     exit(2)
	     terminate the calling process
