NAME

       explain_rmdir_or_die - delete a directory and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/rmdir.h>
       void explain_rmdir_or_die(const char *pathname);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_rmdir_or_die  function is used to call the rmdir(2) system
       call.  On failure an explanation will be printed  to  stderr,  obtained
       from  explain_rmdir(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_rmdir_or_die(pathname);

       pathname
               The  pathname,  exactly  as to be passed to the rmdir(2) system
               call.

       Returns:
               This function only returns on success.  On failure,  prints  an
               explanation and exits.
