NAME

       explain_getrlimit_or_die - get resource limits and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/getrlimit.h>
       void explain_getrlimit_or_die(int resource, struct rlimit *rlim);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_getrlimit_or_die  function  is used to call the getrlimit(2) system call.  On
       failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_getrlimit(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_getrlimit_or_die(resource, rlim);

       resource
               The resource, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2) system call.

       rlim    The rlim, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2) system call.

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