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.
