NAME

       explain_getchar_or_die - input of characters and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/getchar.h>
       void explain_getchar_or_die(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_getchar_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the getchar(3) system call.  On
       failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained  from  explain_getchar(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:
              int c = explain_getchar_or_die();

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