NAME
       explain_link_or_die - make a new name for a file and report errors


SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/link.h>
       void explain_link_or_die(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath);


DESCRIPTION
       The explain_link_or_die function is used to call the link(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will
       be printed to stderr,  obtained  from  explain_link(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_link_or_die(oldpath, newpath);

       oldpath The oldpath, exactly as to be passed to the link(2) system call.

       newpath The newpath, exactly as to be passed to the link(2) system call.

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