NAME
explain_fchown_or_die - change ownership of a file and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/fchown.h>
void explain_fchown_or_die(int fildes, int owner, int group);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_fchown_or_die function is used to call the fchown(2) system
call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from explain_fchown(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_fchown_or_die(fildes, owner, group);
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system
call.
owner The owner, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system
call.
group The group, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system
call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
