Provided by: libexplain-dev_1.4.D001-7_amd64 bug

NAME
       explain_realloc_or_die - Allocate and free dynamic memory and report errors


SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/realloc.h>
       void explain_realloc_or_die(void *ptr, size_t size);


DESCRIPTION
       The  explain_realloc_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  realloc(3)  system  call.   On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_realloc(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:
              void *new_ptr = explain_realloc_or_die(ptr, size);

       ptr     The ptr, exactly as to be passed to the realloc(3) system call.

       size    The size, exactly as to be passed to the realloc(3) system call.

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