explain_fflush_or_die(3)				     Library Functions Manual					  explain_fflush_or_die(3)

NAME
explain_fflush_or_die - flush a stream and report errors SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/fflush.h> void explain_fflush_or_die(FILE *fp); int explain_fflush_on_error(FILE *fp); DESCRIPTION
The explain_fflush_or_die function is used to call the fflush(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_fflush(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE). The explain_fflush_on_error function is used to call the fflush(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_fflush(3) function, but still returns to the caller. fp The fp, exactly as to be passed to the fflush(3) system call. RETURN VALUE
The explain_fflush_or_die function only returns on success, see fflush(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return. The explain_fflush_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped fflush(3) system call. EXAMPLE
The explain_fflush_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: explain_fflush_or_die(fp); SEE ALSO
fflush(3) flush a stream explain_fflush(3) explain fflush(3) errors exit(2) terminate the calling process COPYRIGHT
