NAME

       explain_fpathconf_or_die - get file configuration and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/fpathconf.h>
       long explain_fpathconf_or_die(int fildes, int name);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_fpathconf_or_die function is used to call the fpathconf(3)
       system call.  On failure an explanation  will  be  printed  to  stderr,
       obtained  from explain_fpathconf(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:
              long result = explain_fpathconf_or_die(fildes, name);

       fildes  The  fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fpathconf(3) system
               call.

       name    The name, exactly as to be passed to  the  fpathconf(3)  system
               call.

       Returns:
               This  function  only  returns  on success, see fpathconf(3) for
               more information.  On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
