NAME
       explain_getc_or_die - input of characters and report errors


SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/getc.h>
       int explain_getc_or_die(FILE *fp);


DESCRIPTION
       The explain_getc_or_die function is used to call the getc(3) system call.  On failure an explanation will
       be printed to stderr,  obtained  from  explain_getc(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_getc_or_die(fp);

       fp      The fp, exactly as to be passed to the getc(3) system call.

       Returns:
               This function only returns on success, and returns the next character or EOF at end of input.  On
               failure, prints an explanation and exits.
