DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_remove_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  remove(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
       obtained from explain_remove(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_remove_or_die(pathname);

       pathname
