explain_tempnam_or_die(3)   Library Functions Manual   explain_tempnam_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_tempnam_or_die  - create a name for a temporary file and report er-
     rors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/tempnam.h>
     char *explain_tempnam_or_die(const char *dir, const char *prefix);
     char *explain_tempnam_on_error(const char *dir, const char *prefix);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_tempnam_or_die function is used to call the  tempnam(3)  system
     call.  On	failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     the explain_tempnam(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling
     exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_tempnam_on_error function is used to call the tempnam(3) system
     call. On failure an explanation will be printed to  stderr,  obtained  from
     the explain_tempnam(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     dir     The dir, exactly as to be passed to the tempnam(3) system call.

     prefix  The prefix, exactly as to be passed to the tempnam(3) system call.

RETURN VALUE
     The explain_tempnam_or_die function only returns on success, see tempnam(3)
     for  more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does
     not return.

     The explain_tempnam_on_error function always returns the  value  return  by
     the wrapped tempnam(3) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The  explain_tempnam_or_die  function  is	intended to be used in a fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    char *result = explain_tempnam_or_die(dir, prefix);
