NAME
       explain_setsockopt_or_die - get and set options on sockets and report errors


SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/setsockopt.h>
       void explain_setsockopt_or_die(int fildes, int level, int name, void *data, socklen_t data_size);


DESCRIPTION
       The  explain_setsockopt_or_die  function  is  used  to call the setsockopt(2) system call.  On failure an
       explanation will be printed  to  stderr,  obtained  from  explain_setsockopt(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_setsockopt_or_die(fildes, level, name, data, data_size);

       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the setsockopt(2) system call.

       level   The level, exactly as to be passed to the setsockopt(2) system call.

       name    The name, exactly as to be passed to the setsockopt(2) system call.

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

       data_size
               The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the setsockopt(2) system call.

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