NAME

       explain_fdopen_or_die - stream open functions and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/fdopen.h>
       void explain_fdopen_or_die(int fd, const char *mode);

DESCRIPTION

       The explain_fdopen_or_die function is used to call the fdopen(3) system
       call.  On failure an explanation will be printed  to  stderr,  obtained
       from  explain_fdopen(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:
              FILE *fp = explain_fdopen_or_die(fd, mode);

       fd      The fd, exactly as to be passed to the fdopen(3) system call.

       mode    The mode, exactly as to be passed to the fdopen(3) system call.

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