NAME
       explain_realloc_or_die - Allocate and free dynamic memory and report errors

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/realloc.h>
       void explain_realloc_or_die(void *ptr, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION
       The  explain_realloc_or_die  function  is  used	to  call the realloc(3) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
       obtained from explain_realloc(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:
	      void *new_ptr = explain_realloc_or_die(ptr, size);

       ptr     The ptr, exactly as to be passed to the realloc(3) system call.

       size    The size, exactly as to be passed to the realloc(3) system call.

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