SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/gettimeofday.h>

stderr, obtained from explain_gettimeofday(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_gettimeofday_or_die(tv, tz);
tv The tv, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system call.
tz The tz, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system call.
