NAME
       explain_getrlimit_or_die - get resource limits and report errors

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/getrlimit.h>
       void explain_getrlimit_or_die(int resource, struct rlimit *rlim);

DESCRIPTION
       The  explain_getrlimit_or_die  function is used to call the getrlimit(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
       obtained from explain_getrlimit(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_getrlimit_or_die(resource, rlim);

       resource
	       The resource, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2) system call.

       rlim    The rlim, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2) system call.

       Returns:
	       This function only returns on success.  On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
