SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/bind.h>

       from explain_bind(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_bind_or_die(fildes, sock_addr, sock_addr_size);

       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the bind(2) system call.

       sock_addr_size
