NAME

       explain_unlink_or_die - delete a file and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/unlink.h>
       void explain_unlink_or_die(const char *pathname);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_unlink_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  unlink(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
       obtained from explain_unlink(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_unlink_or_die(pathname);

       pathname
	       The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the unlink(2) system call.

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

       explain_unlink(3)
	       explain unlink(2) errors

       exit(2) terminate the calling process
