NAME
       explain_creat_or_die - create and open a file creat and report errors


SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/creat.h>
       void explain_creat_or_die(const char *pathname, int mode);


DESCRIPTION
       The  explain_creat_or_die  function  is used to call the creat(2) system call.  On failure an explanation
       will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_creat(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_creat_or_die(pathname, mode);

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

       mode    The mode, exactly as to be passed to the creat(2) system call.

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