NAME
explain_link_or_die - make a new name for a file and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/link.h>
void explain_link_or_die(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_link_or_die function is used to call the link(2) system
call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from explain_link(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_link_or_die(oldpath, newpath);
oldpath The oldpath, exactly as to be passed to the link(2) system
call.
newpath The newpath, exactly as to be passed to the link(2) system
call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
