On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_write(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: ssize_t result = explain_write_or_die(fildes, data, data_size); fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the write(2) system call. data The data, exactly as to be passed to the write(2) system call. data_size The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the write(2) system call.
