NAME

       explain_closedir_or_die - close a directory and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/closedir.h>
       void explain_closedir_or_die(DIR *dir);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_closedir_or_die  function  is used to call the closedir(3)
       system call.  On failure an explanation  will  be  printed  to  stderr,
       obtained  from  explain_closedir(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:
              explain_closedir_or_die(dir);

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

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