       #include	<libexplain/remove.h>
       void explain_remove_or_die(const	char *pathname);

DESCRIPTION
       The explain_remove_or_die function is used to call the remove(2)	system
       call.   On  failure  an explanation will	be printed to stderr, obtained
       from explain_remove(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_remove_or_die(pathname);

       pathname

	       call.

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