DESCRIPTION

       The explain_getc_or_die function is used to call the getc(3) system call.  On failure an explanation will
       be  printed  to  stderr,  obtained  from  explain_getc(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:
              int c = explain_getc_or_die(fp);

       fp      The fp, exactly as to be passed to the getc(3) system call.

               This function only returns on success, and returns the next character or EOF at end of input.  On
               failure, prints an explanation and exits.
