This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: explain_ftruncate_or_die(fildes, length); fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the ftruncate(2) system call. length The length, exactly as to be passed to the ftruncate(2) system call. Returns: This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
