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