NAME
explain_setsockopt_or_die - get and set options on sockets and report
errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/setsockopt.h>
void explain_setsockopt_or_die(int fildes, int level, int name, void
*data, socklen_t data_size);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_setsockopt_or_die function is used to call the
setsockopt(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed
to stderr, obtained from explain_setsockopt(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_setsockopt_or_die(fildes, level, name, data, data_size);
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the setsockopt(2) system
call.
level The level, exactly as to be passed to the setsockopt(2) system
call.
name The name, exactly as to be passed to the setsockopt(2) system
call.
data The data, exactly as to be passed to the setsockopt(2) system
call.
data_size
The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the setsockopt(2)
system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
