       explain_fpathconf_or_die - get file configuration and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/fpathconf.h>
       long explain_fpathconf_or_die(int fildes, int name);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_fpathconf_or_die  function  is used to call the fpathconf(3) system call.  On
       failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_fpathconf(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:
              long result = explain_fpathconf_or_die(fildes, name);

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

       name    The name, exactly as to be passed to the fpathconf(3) system call.

       Returns:
               This  function only returns on success, see fpathconf(3) for more information.  On
               failure, prints an explanation and exits.
