DESCRIPTION

       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
	      explain_stat_or_die(pathname, buf);

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

       buf     The buf, exactly as to be passed to the stat(2) system call.

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