NAME
explain_write_or_die - write to a file descriptor and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/write.h>
void explain_write_or_die(int fildes, const void *data, long
data_size);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_write_or_die function is used to call the write(2) system
call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from explain_write(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:
ssize_t result = explain_write_or_die(fildes, data, data_size);
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the write(2) system
call.
data The data, exactly as to be passed to the write(2) system call.
data_size
The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the write(2) system
call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
