NAME
explain_connect_or_die - initiate a connection on a socket and report
errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/connect.h>
void explain_connect_or_die(int fildes, const struct sockaddr
*serv_addr, int serv_addr_size);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_connect_or_die function is used to call the connect(2)
system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
obtained from explain_connect(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_connect_or_die(fildes, serv_addr, serv_addr_size);
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the connect(2) system
call.
serv_addr
The serv_addr, exactly as to be passed to the connect(2) system
call.
serv_addr_size
The serv_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the connect(2)
system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
