NAME
explain_getrlimit_or_die - get resource limits and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/getrlimit.h>
void explain_getrlimit_or_die(int resource, struct rlimit *rlim);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_getrlimit_or_die function is used to call the getrlimit(2)
system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
obtained from explain_getrlimit(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_getrlimit_or_die(resource, rlim);
resource
The resource, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2)
system call.
rlim The rlim, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2) system
call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
