NAME
explain_listen_or_die - listen for connections on a socket and report
errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/listen.h>
void explain_listen_or_die(int fildes, int backlog);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_listen_or_die function is used to call the listen(2) system
call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from explain_listen(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_listen_or_die(fildes, backlog);
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the listen(2) system
call.
backlog The backlog, exactly as to be passed to the listen(2) system
call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
