explain_se...ame_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_se...ame_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_setdomainname_or_die - set domain name and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/setdomainname.h>
     void explain_setdomainname_or_die(const char *data, size_t data_size);
     int explain_setdomainname_on_error(const char *data, size_t data_size);

DESCRIPTION
     The  explain_setdomainname_or_die	function  is used to call the setdomain-
     name(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed  to  stderr,
     obtained  from  the explain_setdomainname(3) function, and then the process
     terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_setdomainname_on_error function is used to call the  setdomain-
     name(2)  system  call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
     obtained from the explain_setdomainname(3) function, but still  returns  to
     the caller.

     data    The  data,  exactly  as to be passed to the setdomainname(2) system
	     call.

     data_size
	     The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the setdomainname(2) sys-
	     tem call.

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

     The explain_setdomainname_on_error function always returns the value return
     by the wrapped setdomainname(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_setdomainname_or_die function is intended to be used in a fash-
     ion similar to the following example:
	    explain_setdomainname_or_die(data, data_size);

SEE ALSO
     setdomainname(2)
	     set domain name
