NAME
explain_fstat_or_die - get file status and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/fstat.h>
void explain_fstat_or_die(int fildes, struct stat *buf);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_fstat_or_die function is used to call the fstat(2) system
call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from explain_fstat(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_fstat_or_die(fildes, buf);
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fstat(2) system
call.
buf The buf, exactly as to be passed to the fstat(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
