explain_stime_or_die(3) 				     Library Functions Manual					   explain_stime_or_die(3)

NAME

       explain_stime_or_die - set system time and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/stime.h>
       void explain_stime_or_die(time_t *t);
       int explain_stime_on_error(time_t *t);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_stime_or_die  function is used to call the stime(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
       from the explain_stime(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The explain_stime_on_error function is used to call the stime(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
       from the explain_stime(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

       t       The t, exactly as to be passed to the stime(2) system call.

RETURN VALUE

       The  explain_stime_or_die function only returns on success, see stime(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits,
       it does not return.

       The explain_stime_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped stime(2) system call.

EXAMPLE

       The explain_stime_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
	      explain_stime_or_die(t);

SEE ALSO

       stime(2)
	       set system time

       explain_stime(3)
	       explain stime(2) errors

       exit(2) terminate the calling process
