       explain_accept_or_die - accept a connection on a socket and report errors

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/accept.h>
       int explain_accept_or_die(int fildes, struct sockaddr *sock_addr, socklen_t *sock_addr_size);

DESCRIPTION
       The  explain_accept_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  accept(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
       obtained from explain_accept(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:
	      int fd = explain_accept_or_die(fildes, sock_addr, sock_addr_size);
