NAME

       explain_unlink_or_die - delete a file and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/unlink.h>
       void explain_unlink_or_die(const char *pathname);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_unlink_or_die function is used to call the unlink(2) system call.  On failure
       an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_unlink(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_unlink_or_die(pathname);

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

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

SEE ALSO

       explain_unlink(3)
               explain unlink(2) errors

       exit(2) terminate the calling process
