NAME
       explain_mount_or_die - mount file system and report errors


SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/mount.h>
       void explain_mount_or_die(const char *source, const char *target, const char *file_systems_type, unsigned
       long flags, const void *data);
       int explain_mount_on_error(const  char  *source,  const  char  *target,  const  char  *file_systems_type,
       unsigned long flags, const void *data);


DESCRIPTION
       The  explain_mount_or_die  function  is  used to call the mount(2) system call. On failure an explanation
       will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_mount(3) function, and then the  process  terminates
       by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The  explain_mount_on_error  function is used to call the mount(2) system call. On failure an explanation
       will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_mount(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

       source  The source, exactly as to be passed to the mount(2) system call.

       target  The target, exactly as to be passed to the mount(2) system call.

       file_systems_type
               The file_systems_type, exactly as to be passed to the mount(2) system call.

       flags   The flags, exactly as to be passed to the mount(2) system call.

       data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the mount(2) system call.


RETURN VALUE
       The explain_mount_or_die function only returns on success, see mount(2) for more information. On failure,
       prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.

       The explain_mount_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped mount(2) system call.


EXAMPLE
       The explain_mount_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
              explain_mount_or_die(source, target, file_systems_type, flags, data);


SEE ALSO
       mount(2)
               mount file system

       explain_mount(3)
               explain mount(2) errors

       exit(2) terminate the calling process
