NAME

       explain_mkostemp_or_die - create a unique temporary file and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/mkostemp.h>
       int explain_mkostemp_or_die(char *templat, int flags);
       int explain_mkostemp_on_error(char *templat, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_mkostemp_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  mkostemp(3)  system  call. On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from  the  explain_mkostemp(3)  function,  and  then  the
       process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The  explain_mkostemp_on_error  function  is  used  to  call  the  mkostemp(3) system call. On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_mkostemp(3) function, but still  returns
       to the caller.

       templat The template, exactly as to be passed to the mkostemp(3) system call.

       flags   The flags, exactly as to be passed to the mkostemp(3) system call.

RETURN VALUE

       The  explain_mkostemp_or_die  function  only returns on success, see mkostemp(3) for more information. On
       failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.

       The explain_mkostemp_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped mkostemp(3)  system
       call.

EXAMPLE

       The  explain_mkostemp_or_die  function  is  intended  to  be  used  in a fashion similar to the following
       example:
              int result = explain_mkostemp_or_die(templat, flags);
