SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/fchown.h>
       void explain_fchown_or_die(int fildes, int owner, int group);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_fchown_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  fchown(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
       obtained from explain_fchown(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:
	      explain_fchown_or_die(fildes, owner, group);

       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system call.

       owner   The owner, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system call.

       group   The group, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system call.

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