NAME

       explain_gettimeofday_or_die - get time and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/gettimeofday.h>
       void explain_gettimeofday_or_die(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_gettimeofday_or_die  function  is  used to call the gettimeofday(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to
       stderr, obtained from explain_gettimeofday(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_gettimeofday_or_die(tv, tz);

       tv      The tv, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system call.

       tz      The tz, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system call.

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