SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/getdomainname.h>
void explain_getdomainname_or_die(char *data, size_t data_size);
int explain_getdomainname_on_error(char *data, size_t data_size);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_getdomainname_or_die function is used to call the
getdomainname(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed
to stderr, obtained from the explain_getdomainname(3) function, and
then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_getdomainname_on_error function is used to call the
getdomainname(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed
to stderr, obtained from the explain_getdomainname(3) function, but
still returns to the caller.
data The data, exactly as to be passed to the getdomainname(2)
system call.
data_size
The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the getdomainname(2)
system call.
RETURN VALUE
The explain_getdomainname_or_die function only returns on success, see
getdomainname(2) for more information. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits, it does not return.
The explain_getdomainname_on_error function always returns the value
return by the wrapped getdomainname(2) system call.
EXAMPLE

fashion similar to the following example:
explain_getdomainname_or_die(data, data_size);
