NAME

       explain_lchownat_or_die - Execute lchownat(2) and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/lchownat.h>
       void explain_lchownat_or_die(int fildes, const char *pathname, int uid, int gid);
       int explain_lchownat_on_error(int fildes, const char *pathname, int uid, int gid);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_lchownat_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  lchownat(2)  system  call. On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from  the  explain_lchownat(3)  function,  and  then  the
       process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The  explain_lchownat_on_error  function  is  used  to  call  the  lchownat(2) system call. On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_lchownat(3) function, but still  returns
       to the caller.

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

       pathname
               The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the lchownat(2) system call.

       uid     The uid, exactly as to be passed to the lchownat(2) system call.

       gid     The gid, exactly as to be passed to the lchownat(2) system call.

RETURN VALUE

       The  explain_lchownat_or_die  function  only returns on success, see lchownat(2) for more information. On
       failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.

       The explain_lchownat_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped lchownat(2)  system
       call.

EXAMPLE

       The  explain_lchownat_or_die  function  is  intended  to  be  used  in a fashion similar to the following
       example:
              explain_lchownat_or_die(fildes, pathname, uid, gid);
