NAME
explain_getpeername_or_die - get name of peer socket and report errors SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/getpeername.h> void explain_getpeername_or_die(int fildes, struct sockaddr *sock_addr, socklen_t *sock_addr_size); DESCRIPTION
The explain_getpeername_or_die function is used to call the getpeername(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_getpeername(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: struct sockadd sock_addr; socklen_t sock_addr_size = sizeof(sock_addr); explain_getpeername_or_die(fildes, &sock_addr, &sock_addr_size); fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the getpeername(2) system call. sock_addr The sock_addr, exactly as to be passed to the getpeername(2) system call. sock_addr_size The sock_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the getpeername(2) system call. Returns: This function only returns on success, see getpeername(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits. SEE ALSO

NAME
explain_accept4_or_die - accept a connection on a socket and report errors SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/accept4.h> int explain_accept4_or_die(int fildes, struct sockaddr *sock_addr, socklen_t *sock_addr_size, int flags); int explain_accept4_on_error(int fildes, struct sockaddr *sock_addr, socklen_t *sock_addr_size, int flags); DESCRIPTION
The explain_accept4_or_die function is used to call the accept4(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_accept4(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE). The explain_accept4_on_error function is used to call the accept4(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_accept4(3) function, but still returns to the caller. fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the accept4(2) system call. sock_addr The sock_addr, exactly as to be passed to the accept4(2) system call. sock_addr_size The sock_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the accept4(2) system call. flags The flags, exactly as to be passed to the accept4(2) system call. RETURN VALUE
The explain_accept4_or_die function only returns on success, see accept4(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return. The explain_accept4_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped accept4(2) system call. EXAMPLE
The explain_accept4_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: int result = explain_accept4_or_die(fildes, sock_addr, sock_addr_size, flags); SEE ALSO
