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