NAME

       explain_acl_set_fd_or_die - set an ACL by file descriptor and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/acl_set_fd.h>
       void explain_acl_set_fd_or_die(int fildes, acl_t acl);
       int explain_acl_set_fd_on_error(int fildes, acl_t acl);

DESCRIPTION

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

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

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

       acl     The acl, exactly as to be passed to the acl_set_fd(3) system call.

RETURN VALUE

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

       The explain_acl_set_fd_on_error function always returns the value return  by  the  wrapped
       acl_set_fd(3) system call.

EXAMPLE

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