explain_readdir_or_die - read directory entry and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/readdir.h>

obtained from explain_readdir(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_readdir_or_die(dir);
dir The dir, exactly as to be passed to the readdir(2) system call.
Returns:
a pointer to a dirent structure, or NULL if end-of-file is
reached. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
