explain_vfprintf_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_vfprintf_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_vfprintf_or_die - formatted output conversion and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/vfprintf.h>
     void explain_vfprintf_or_die(FILE *fp, const char *format, va_list ap);
     int explain_vfprintf_on_error(FILE *fp, const char *format, va_list ap);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_vfprintf_or_die function is used to call the vfprintf(3) system
     call.  On	failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     the explain_vfprintf(3) function, and then the process terminates by  call-
     ing exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_vfprintf_on_error function is used to call the vfprintf(3) sys-
     tem  call.  On  failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
     from the explain_vfprintf(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     fp      The fp, exactly as to be passed to the vfprintf(3) system call.

     format  The format, exactly as to be passed to the vfprintf(3) system call.

     ap      The ap, exactly as to be passed to the vfprintf(3) system call.

RETURN VALUE
     The explain_vfprintf_or_die function  only  returns  on  success,	see  vf-
     printf(3)	for  more information. On failure, prints an explanation and ex-
     its, it does not return.

     The explain_vfprintf_on_error function always returns the value  return  by
     the wrapped vfprintf(3) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The  explain_vfprintf_or_die  function  is intended to be used in a fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_vfprintf_or_die(fp, format, ap);
