SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/fchown.h>
       void explain_fchown_or_die(int fildes, int owner, int group);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_fchown_or_die function is used to call the fchown(2) system call.  On failure an explanation
       will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_fchown(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_fchown_or_die(fildes, owner, group);

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

       owner   The owner, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system call.

       group   The group, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system call.

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