explain_getdomainname_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_getdomainname_or_die(3)NAME
explain_getdomainname_or_die - get domain name and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/getdomainname.h>
void explain_getdomainname_or_die(char *data, size_t data_size);
int explain_getdomainname_on_error(char *data, size_t data_size);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_getdomainname_or_die function is used to call the getdomainname(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
stderr, obtained from the explain_getdomainname(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_getdomainname_on_error function is used to call the getdomainname(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
stderr, obtained from the explain_getdomainname(3) function, but still returns to the caller.
data The data, exactly as to be passed to the getdomainname(2) system call.
data_size
The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the getdomainname(2) system call.
RETURN VALUE
The explain_getdomainname_or_die function only returns on success, see getdomainname(2) for more information. On failure, prints an expla-
nation and exits, it does not return.
The explain_getdomainname_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped getdomainname(2) system call.
EXAMPLE
The explain_getdomainname_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
explain_getdomainname_or_die(data, data_size);
SEE ALSO getdomainname(2)
get domain name
explain_getdomainname(3)
explain getdomainname(2) errors
exit(2) terminate the calling process

explain_mmap_or_die - map file or device into memory and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/mmap.h>
void *explain_mmap_or_die(void *data, size_t data_size, int prot, int flags, int fildes, off_t offset);
void *explain_mmap_on_error(void *data, size_t data_size, int prot, int flags, int fildes, off_t offset);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_mmap_or_die function is used to call the mmap(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from the explain_mmap(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_mmap_on_error function is used to call the mmap(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from the explain_mmap(3) function, but still returns to the caller.
data The data, exactly as to be passed to the mmap(2) system call.
data_size
The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the mmap(2) system call.
prot The prot, exactly as to be passed to the mmap(2) system call.
flags The flags, exactly as to be passed to the mmap(2) system call.
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the mmap(2) system call.
offset The offset, exactly as to be passed to the mmap(2) system call.
RETURN VALUE
The explain_mmap_or_die function only returns on success, see mmap(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it
does not return.
