NAME

       explain_open_or_die - open file and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fcntl.h>
       #include <libexplain/open.h>

       int explain_open_or_die(const char *pathname, int flags, int mode);

DESCRIPTION

       Given  a  pathname for a file, open() returns a file descriptor, a small, non-negative integer for use in subsequent system calls (read(2),
       write(2), lseek(2), fcntl(2), etc.).  The file descriptor returned by a successful call will be the  lowest-numbered  file  descriptor  not
       currently open for the process.	See open(2) for more information.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, the new file descriptor is returned.

       On  error,  a description of the error is obtained via explain_open(3), and printed on stderr.  The process is the terminated via a call to
       the exit(EXIT_FAILURE) function.
