SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/rename.h>
void explain_rename_or_die(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath);

explain_rename_or_die(oldpath, newpath);
oldpath The oldpath, exactly as to be passed to the rename(2) system call.
newpath The newpath, exactly as to be passed to the rename(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
SEE ALSO rename(2)
