NAME
explain_freopen_or_die - open file and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/freopen.h>
void explain_freopen_or_die(const char *pathname, const char *flags,
FILE *fp);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_freopen_or_die function is used to reopen a file via the
freopen(3) system call. On failure it will print an explanation,
obtained from the linexplain_freopen(3) function, on the standard error
stream and then exit.
This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the
following example:
explain_freopen_or_die(pathname, flags, fp);
pathname
The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the freopen(3) system
call.
flags The flags, exactly as to be passed to the freopen(3) system
call.
fp The fp, exactly as to be passed to the freopen(3) system call.
Returns:
Only ever return on success. Never returns on failure.
