NAME

       explain_getcwd_or_die - get current working directory and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/getcwd.h>
       void explain_getcwd_or_die(char *buf, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_getcwd_or_die function is used to call the getcwd(2) system call.  On failure
       an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_getcwd(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_getcwd_or_die(buf, size);

       buf     The buf, exactly as to be passed to the getcwd(2) system call.

       size    The size, exactly as to be passed to the getcwd(2) system call.

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