NAME

       explain_acl_get_fd_or_die - Execute acl_get_fd(3) and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/acl_get_fd.h>
       acl_t explain_acl_get_fd_or_die(int fildes);
       acl_t explain_acl_get_fd_on_error(int fildes);

DESCRIPTION

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

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

       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the acl_get_fd(3) system call.

RETURN VALUE

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

       The explain_acl_get_fd_on_error function always returns the value return  by  the  wrapped  acl_get_fd(3)
       system call.

EXAMPLE

       The  explain_acl_get_fd_or_die  function  is  intended  to  be used in a fashion similar to the following
       example:
              explain_acl_get_fd_or_die(fildes);
