NAME
       explain_fork_or_die - create a child process and report errors


SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/fork.h>
       void explain_fork_or_die(void);


DESCRIPTION
       The explain_fork_or_die function is used to call the fork(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will
       be printed to stderr,  obtained  from  explain_fork(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_fork_or_die();

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