explain_wait_or_die - wait for process to change state and report errors SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/wait.h> void explain_wait_or_die(int *status); DESCRIPTION
The explain_wait_or_die function is used to call the wait(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_wait(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_wait_or_die(status); status The status, exactly as to be passed to the wait(2) system call. Returns: This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits. SEE ALSO
